Earlier this week Cobb and Douglas Public Health sent out word that online appointments to get a COVID-19 vaccine become available every Friday at 5 p.m.
We’re repeating that message here, with links to sign up and get more information.
As we noted previously, CDPH is doing this one week at a time, as new supplies of the vaccine become available.
On Tuesday, Dr. Janet Memark, director of Cobb and Douglas Public Health, admitted there are “just not enough vaccines” as the online appointment booking page crashed due to overwhelming demand.
That sign-up page has been down intermittently during the week.
This is the continuation of phase 1A+, which is limited to first responders, health care workers and people 65 and over.
Vaccinations will take place every Monday-Saturday at Jim Miller Park. Here’s more from CDPH:
Key Points to Remember:
-
Everyone must have an appointment to receive a vaccine. Individuals may come together in the same car if they have appointments for the same day, even if different times.
Please be patient as Cobb & Douglas Public Health is adding appointments to the system no more than a week at a time due to uncertain vaccine supply.
Approved vaccine providers are being activated daily across the state. Please check this Georgia Department of Public Health vaccine locator for vaccine providers: https://dph.georgia.gov/
locations/covid-vaccination- site There are a limited number of appointments each day, so you may not get an appointment right away.
Please follow the instructions in your appointment confirmation email.

73 years old & would like to get an appointment ASAP. See what you can do for me. I’m retired & can
make it to Jim Miller Park just about anytime.
Thank you
How will the people who received their first vaccine arrange to get the second one? What happens if they can’t get an appointment? Are some spots held aside for those who need the second dose?
As I was instructed by the website, I , an 81 year old who already registered last week for this vaccine, attempted to get an appointment at 5:00p.m. yesterday. The server was busy and when it was not, there were no appointment availabilities. I tried again when I woke up this morning, and I had the exact same experience as I did yesterday and every day before that since January 11th. Very frustrating!
I am 78 years old and have health conditions. I have tried many times to book an appointment . At 7 am on Monday I couldn’t get on because the website crashed. Friday at 5 pm I couldn’t get on because it was busy and I kept trying for 2 hours. When I tried at 2 am Saturday there was nothing available.
Any suggestions?
Please take care of these older people! The website is the only way and it is constantly jammed.
I am trying to register without success. I am a healthcare worker.
Bogus!
after several attempts without any success to load the page, the page said all slots filled up…. come back next Friday 5.00pm. The whole thing took 5 minutes. Did they have only 10 vaccines?
