People signing up for vaccination appointments find the websites overloaded, glitchy, and kicking them out repeatedly. Author: Pat Dooris Updated: 7:06 PM PST February 22, 2021
PORTLAND, Oregon Across Oregon, more than 200,000 seniors aged 70 to 74 became eligible for COVID-19 vaccines on Monday.
But being eligible is not the same as getting a shot, especially in the Portland area where many are eager for the vaccine.
“So unfortunately, first of all, I got up right after midnight because I thought it would open up immediately,” said 71-year-old Alan Iberg. But alas, it didn’t.
He wanted to do all he could to get one of the 7,000 shots made available starting at 9 a.m. through the Oregon Health Authority website.
