“A lot of people shared something that was very explicitly marked and every time we sent out a new iteration of the list we made it even bolder and bolder do not forward, do not share,” said Collin County Commissioner Darrell Hale.
According to Hale, people on the county’s vaccination list who were due to be vaccinated at the new site were sent a separate email from Curative that allowed them to directly sign up for a vaccination time. But many, according to Hale, also sent the email to friends and family who were not yet due to be vaccinated, resulting in the 1,700 erroneous sign-ups.
