LAGUNA BEACH, CA Orange County s Othena vaccination registration system a website and app intended to handle vaccination appointments and patient contact on a massive scale has gotten poor reviews from registrants still languishing in the waiting room. According to hundreds of emails Patch has received, little love has been shared for the app that cost the county over $1 million. Those vaccinated through the program have praised the point of dispensing (POD) sites at Disneyland and Soka University, but the app has caused confusion and doubt among many of the county s most vulnerable residents.
