In an effort to keep the COVID-19 vaccine local, the City of Naples has launched a new phone system. On Tuesday, they put it to the test to schedule 500 vaccine appointments.
Bob Plemmons spent his morning on the phone trying to get an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccine through The City of Naples.
“I called every 30 seconds. I got a busy signal every time and after that, I said ‘the heck with it,'” Plemmons said.
Rose Marie Davidson tried too. She wanted to get an appointment for her husband but, like Plemmons, she got a busy signal.
