Today marks the opening day at York Region where appointments will be taken for covid-19 vaccine appointments for people who are 80+ years of age. We were instructed to visit the following link (york.ca\/covid19vaccine<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At around 8:10am, the site was finally active. It was not immediately apparent to me how to book the vaccine, but after more reading, menu hunting, and a few clicks later I finally figured out. I had to choose the location first and then proceed to book an “activity” at that location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I was delighted to find out that there were hundreds of spots available at Richmond Green, a community facility just 10 minutes walk from our place. Unfortunately, when I proceeded with the booking, I had to create an account first. By the time I created the account, all the spots at Richmond Green were gone, and I had to book elsewhere. At around 9am, all spots from all locations were gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My advice is that if you don’t have a york.ca account now, go and create one<\/a> before you make a booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a video that may be useful to others showing how I navigated their web site to get to the booking. Good luck with your bookings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
