      It's also how many seniors told me they learned they had a vaccination appointment. (They had filled many forms on many websites and got nowhere and then, out of the blue, got a call telling them they got an appointment. What if they hadn't picked it up? What if it was a scam?)https://twitter.com/AlanMCole/status/1358834268001210368 …

      Another day, another call on the "phone" platform. It was from a robot voice, impersonating financial officers, with the ultimate intent to rob me. It is the only call I have received so far today. These are just some of the many experiences this platform has to offer.

      I know that this is already happening. Basically, by making the vaccine appointment system what it is (instead of a central website or phone number per state where you entered your info once and then got contacted), we've left a lot of people vulnerable.https://twitter.com/laurapy/status/1358969867874021383 …

      How long before scammers start making appointment calls? "Just enter your SS# to get your vaccine ..."

      Sanity! Imagine that. This plus setting up vaccination clinics in underserved areas plus workplaces prone to outbreaks (warehouses, meat-packing etc) would go a long way. Right now, in many states, it's vaccination roulette and field day for scams.https://twitter.com/TulliusCicero43/status/1359182436341579776 …

      Thankfully here in NM registration is centralized through @NMDOH. There's a single online site, and a phone # for those w/o internet. Then they contact you when it's your turn to make an appt. Once you've had your 1st shot, they automatically set up your appt for the 2nd.
