BOSTON – The Commonwealth of Massachusetts COVID-19 Vaccine site has crashed today, February 18.
The site https://vaxfinder.mass.gov/ is still crashed at 8 a.m. It was up after 9 a.m., as a few SOURCE readers said they were lucky to snag an appointment at the new Natick mall site.
But many seniors and other residents were frustrated with the state’s website and vaccine roll out this morning, and continue to be frustrated.
“I am deeply disappointed that today so many Massachusetts residents are feeling frustration and anger on a day when we should be experiencing hope. I hear it and I feel it too,” said Senate President Karen Spilka. “The Senate and House is holding a public, livestreamed oversight hearing on Thursday, February 25 and we expect answers from those responsible for this failure. The Administration must deliver a better experience for our residents, who have already dealt with so much anxiety and disruption.”
