I was really impressed with the UK vaccine booking system. A text message from the doctor directed me to an online booking form. This was an incredibly simple html form-based thing. The first screen asks for your DOB (to check you're the right person). The second has a short list with about five appointments to choose from (a couple of different days, a few different times). Select one, click OK, done. A text message confirmed the appointment. It was simple and functional. It didn't even require javascript.
- ghaff 6y agoYou can't make a general statement about the system in the US, because many (all?) states have their own systems for mass vaccination sites, the big pharmacy chains have their systems, and presumably hospitals have their own systems. The Massachusetts system seems pretty good with easy pre-registration and choice of ways to be contacted when you're up for an appointment. Problem with some of the other systems is you pretty much have to keep checking. I've been tempted to write some code.
