I had this same thought while trying to schedule my COVID vaccine. Here in Nevada, we're eligible if we're 16+ years old and have underlying conditions (and apparently obesity is an underlying condition, so I can finally say that me being a fatass has some benefits), but only through a few grocery store chains. Experience went something like this: 1. Go to the Smith's website 1.1. Endure some fucking chatbot to determine eligibility 1.2. Finally pick a date/time for the first dose 1.3. No options for the second dose, so I can't continue. No vaccine for me. How the fuck am I able to pick a first date and not a second? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Why even give me the option for a first date if no second dates are available? Why are you even making me pick a second date when y'all are doing the one-shot vaccines anyway? 2. Try Walgreens' website 2.1. No vaccines anywhere, so no vaccine for me. Cool. At least it was a quick response. 3. Try Walmart's website 3.1. Create an account, because reasons 3.2. Choose a store 3.3. There are inexplicably two options for "16+ with underlying conditions", and both have to be checked for me to be eligible. Alright, whatever. 3.4. Find out the chosen store doesn't have any vaccines anyway. If it doesn't have any vaccines, then why the fuck was it an option, Walmart? 3.5. GOTO 3.2 4. Try Safeway's website 4.1. Redirects to Albertson's for some reason, and no vaccines. Cool, thanks for the quick answer. 5. Try Sam's Club 5.1. Sign up for a "guest" account 5.2. Go through yet another chatbot for the basic eligibility questions 5.3. Go through a half-baked web form with a lot more medical questions. 5.3. Pick the first open timeslot. 5.4. Success! This experience has (re)taught me that if this is what it takes for people to get vaccinated, then shitty web design will - not might, not could, will - result in actual loss of life. There's no way I'd expect my grandparents to have been able to work through this (luckily they started with Sam's, and as byzantine as it was, at least it worked). Like, it's 2021. How fucking hard is it in 2021 to put up a simple web form without multiple megabytes of broken JS driving it? How hard is it to setup appointment scheduling? How hard is it to track inventory of a SKU? These things have been done electronically for decades now, and we still can't get it right?
