County officials pleaded for patience Thursday as scheduling issues, and long wait times for service, plagued San Diego’s coronavirus vaccination system.
Many say they are struggling to schedule first or second appointments and those visiting local vaccination super stations, especially the one across the street from Petco Park, reported hours-long waits for service Thursday morning.
Acknowledging the situation in a weekly COVID-19 briefing, county officials clicked their way through a new interactive map that shows the region’s growing number of vaccination sites.
But many, including Sue Lussa, a retired San Diego State University journalism teacher, said they were less concerned about finding the locations than they were about actually managing to secure appointments in what has become a rather Darwinian exercise that seems determined to see who is able to stay at their computer the longest, loading and re-loading appointment pages that always seem to be full.
SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The UC San Diego Health Vaccination Super Station at Petco Park was reopened Wednesday. People who had appointments Tuesday were rescheduled for Saturday.
The site was closed Tuesday for repairs, and closed Monday due to inclement weather. People who were scheduled to receive a vaccination at the site on Monday had their appointments rescheduled for Thursday.
The county has received more than 485,900 vaccines and more than 269,000 have been administered. Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said there is a normal lag in reporting these numbers, but 1.6% of the county’s population over the age of 16 have been fully vaccinated and demand remains high.
