While an estimated 700,000 county residents are eligible to be vaccinated, the county has received just 157,775 doses, county spokeswoman Brooke Federico said Friday.

In San Bernardino County, officials are working with operators of several sites that could serve as “super sites” for vaccinations, spokesman David Wert said.

Since launching online vaccine sign-ups last week, Riverside County has seen overwhelming demand for very limited vaccine supplies.

Cameron Kaiser tweeted that the county was “aware that some of our residents are having difficulty accessing the vaccination appointments on our website … Keep refreshing your screen.”.

We are aware that some of our residents are having difficulty accessing the vaccination appointments on our website.

Thursday evening, county officials said “ a technical issue in the website code” popped up when the appointment window opened.

While the county promised a new website, officials said it will still connect to the state’s vaccine registration portal and that “if all appointments are booked when completing the state’s registration, users will not be able to secure a time.”.

First, the county’s website didn’t “perform as required” Thursday, she said, adding that the new site will solve that?

“Simply, the state system is not designed like Ticketmaster,” she said, adding that county officials have raised the concern with the state.

In an email to Riverside County supervisors and other leaders, Temecula resident Julie Edmunds detailed her frustration trying to get appointments for a colleague’s mother and her sister-in-law’s grandparents.

Adding to the frustration, residents with vaccine appointments this week at two Albertsons in Riverside County had their appointments canceled.

In both cases, patients with canceled appointments will be accommodated at nearby Vons pharmacies next week, Hill said.

“These were isolated incidents, and we are working on accommodating as many of these patients as quickly as we can,” she said, adding that pharmacies at Albertsons and Vons will soon start taking new appointments.

Riverside resident Gracie Torres spent the day Thursday trying to get county vaccine appointments for her parents in Beaumont.

I know (the county) is trying their best, but it’s incredibly frustrating.”!
