4Cs COVID-19 clinics
Two Barnstable County COVID-19 vaccine clinics dispensing the Johnson & Johnson shot today and Thursday filled up within 30 minutes of registration opening last Friday.
Registration opened at noon for the clinics, held at the gym at Cape Cod Community College in West Barnstable.
While the 1,200 slots 600 on each day went quickly, Barnstable County spokesperson Sonja Sheasley expressed frustration with the way they were posted on the state s registration site, maimmunizations.org.
The state waiting room that appointment seekers must pass through jumped all around, Sheasley said; when she tried out the site to see how it worked, the waiting times would jump from 12 minutes to 17 hours and back to 13 minutes for no apparent reason.
