Did you have trouble getting the COVID vaccine or scheduling an appointment? Tell us

South Florida has already begun doling out COVID-19 vaccines to seniors over 65, and distribution has been off to a rocky start.

Jackson Health System in Miami-Dade opened its new online portal for seniors to schedule appointments hours earlier than scheduled on Tuesday, and slots filled up within just a few minutes, leaving many people frustrated. And last week, there was confusion between the state and Broward Health about whether you could get vaccinated with a residency outside the county.

As we continue to cover South Florida’s COVID vaccine distribution, we want to hear from folks who have faced similar issues when trying to get vaccinated.

Did you encounter any problems when getting vaccinated or trying to schedule an appointment, for yourself or someone else? Tell us about your experience by filling out our submission form below or at this link, and a reporter may contact you with more questions. No personal details you give us will be published without a reporter first following up with you.
