Please consider posting the phone numbers andlink to area covid registrations places that are taking registrations for vaccine appointments. Several of my friends and I have spent 4 or more hours a day, for a week, following every lead possible. Only those in nursing homes have received their shots Even a 3 day stay at the hospital did not get me a shot appointment. The communication line through the State, County and town is none existant regarding registering and getting an appointment. One has to hear from the grapevine that
you need to register at as many places as is possible. Then you spend days trying to find out where and who is taking registerations and then search their web site. HELP
