Cobb Douglas Public Health COVID vaccination page down Archives

We’ve been getting a lot of calls and messages this morning from people trying to book a COVID vaccination appointment with Cobb and Douglas Public Health.

But that page has crashed—as has the entire CDPH website— after what county is saying is a server error “due to an overwhelming response.”

That server is run by the Georgia Department of Public Health, according to a Cobb County statement, and we don’t have an estimated time for now on when it might be back up.

Monday is the first day citizens 65 and older and their caregivers can sign up to get a vaccine, and we’ve been hearing from a good number of them over the last few days, after Cobb and Douglas Public Health announced what it calls the Phase 1A+ of its public vaccination program.

The message the county sent out shortly before 9 Monday morning said state public health officials “are working to bring the servers back online and hope to do so in the coming hours.”

A few readers who’ve called in have said when they were able to get to the site early this morning, before it crashed, they didn’t see many appointment slots available, and they never got a chance to sign up.

When the site does come back up, here’s the link for appointments.

While we appreciate hearing from readers and understand the urgency for those wanting to get a vaccine, we at East Cobb News can’t facilitate anything for you to get an appointment.

We’re not associated with the health agencies or county government, but will be updating information about the vaccine appointments as we get it.

If you have other related questions, send them our way and we’ll try to do our best to get answers.
