Ontarians aged 50+ (including me) are now eligible to book #COVID19 vaccine booster shots. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
So I got into Ontario's vaccine booking queue for my booster, entered my health card info, and here's what happened.
"Unable to check at this time" ... three times straight.
Got the same "unable to check" error message more than a dozen times trying to book my #COVID19 booster on Ontario's vaccine website, then got this new error: "Our services aren't available right now" and it knocked me out of the queue.
Clearly today would be a great day to book your booster shot ...
BOOKED! Although I cleared my browser cache and restarted, & went back into the queue for the provincial website, but again error "service unavailable."
Finally got through on the phone and the friendly staffer booked my booster for mid-afternoon on Christmas Eve. #COVID19Ontario
