Dozens of seniors throughout the county expressed frustration and anger this week as COVID-19 vaccination slots opened up to people 65 years old and older, and as many of them tried to register, they found the state website where people sign up for all vaccine locations had crashed.
The Greenfield Recorder reporter received more than a dozen calls Thursday from some of those seniors who said they’d been trying to register for the vaccine for days, even before the 65-plus announcement on Wednesday, and could not get an appointment.
