How is this an American-specific problem? Problems with scheduling a vaccine appointment over the internet have happened also in European countries with public healthcare. For example, Poland has seen some bumps in the road.
- throwaway894345 6y agoAgreed. I think there’s a case to be made against the US healthcare system, but vaccinations wouldn’t be my case in point. Denmark which seems to be the leading EU country has only 9.2% fully vaccinated which lags even the most backwards US state by a considerable margin (presently Georgia with 20% fully vaccinated).
- dkarl 6y agoI agree. It was frustrating trying to get my appointment, but there weren't vaccines going unused or people getting it ahead of me who shouldn't. They managed to vaccinate people at the same rate as doses became available, and different groups were prioritized in a sane if imperfect way.
