OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting (12 Viewers)

Typical inefficient State of Oregon bureaucracy, cannot roll out a reasonable sign up for seniors 80 and over, left many hanging for hours. Very typical. Hell, the governor probably thought they were all done, like she thought all senior facilities were when in fact she didn't know and was winging it. What a mess...

My 92 year-old mother-in-law was able to snare an appointment at the Convention Center for tomorrow. I couldn’t believe her luck given how screwed up the system is. I think she should head to Vegas to play the slots after she’s immune.

Got my appointment notification! I actually have to postpone a couple of weeks since I just got a Shingrix vaccine this week but I'm scheduled. Don't usually get excited about a needle stuck into me.

I’ve been trying to get my 88 year old mom an appointment. No luck so far.

It was pure dumb luck except that I saw that they were going to start taking appointments at 9:00 am instead of noon as had been published in the Oregonian the day before. My mother-in-law had no clue how lucky she was. When she called to tell us she said that her appointment was a little late in the day and maybe she should call back to reschedule. Ha!

1. Go to the Oregon Convention Website. Use the link there for signing up for vaccine.

2. Sign up for a My Health account, do that for your mom as soon as you can. If you wait to do it once you see that there are appointments available, by the time you sign up the appointments will be gone.

3. After you have a My Health account for your mom just keep checking the OCC site throughout the day.

4. Very strong chance that there will be cancellations Friday through Monday due to weather. If you can get to her and then get to the OCC in bad weather start refreshing the appointment website a ton on those days.

That doesn't work. When you go to the Convention website you are directed to the covidvaccine.oregon.gov site to schedule an appointment. However, when I go there there is nothing available. Frustrating!

 

[tlongII]

Well I set up an account anyway. The site says the closest place to get a vaccine is The Dalles. Not sure what that's about?

I know that. And what I'm saying does work. Sign your mom up for a MyHealth account. If the weather is bad later this week there will be cancelations and you'll be able to get one. Otherwise check on next Monday when the next week's appointments are released. They go quick, that's why I'm saying to sign up for the MyHealth account in advance. If you wait to sign up for it after you see appointments available those appointment times will be gone by the time you signup.

I just went through this with my dad and Mrs SPD went through it with her mom. Mrs SPD got her mom a cancelation visit yesterday and I got my dad an appointment for Friday.

I've heard that a lot of people are having trouble with that site.

If you would have seen appointments times there and hadn't signed your mom up for a MyHealth account yet by the time you did sign up for a MyHealth account those appointment times would have most likely been taken.

I just went through it just now to get screen captures to help @tlongII and it worked fine for me.

It's my understanding that they release appointment times for the new week on Monday's but because of possible bad weather these upcoming days if someone reschedules their appointment time will be immediately made available.

If you see it start snowing in the next couple of days and can get to your mom and get her to the convention center you should start refreshing the appointment site often because there should be cancelations. It was a cancelation that Mrs SPD was able to get her mom an appointment today for this afternoon.

I did sign her up for an account. After that I checked for nearest vaccinations and it told me The Dalles. Wut?

Not sure.

Has she ever tried sailboarding?

My great nephew with the full ride in basketball at Cal Poly now has Covid-19. You just can't get through to teenagers.

 

[tlongII]

Just checked again this morning. No appointments available. This is fucking ridiculous.

Appointments were put up Monday morning and they went fast.

I don't think you're going to see anything until either next Monday morning or if the weather turns bad and people start canceling or rescheduling.

Its a joke that in the 21st century, with state of the art distribution software the private industry uses, the State of Oregon cannot keep pace with technology that equates to efficiency and superb service. Oh, that right they don't have any competition or performance marks to consider. I dealt with the State of Oregon for decades and they were always behind when it came to logistics and process.

Don't worry, I hear that they're getting the IT guys from the Unemployment Dept. to work on the scheduling app.
