Appointments filled for first week at COVID-19 vaccine clinic; registration system overloaded
Due to overwhelming demand for COVID-19 vaccination, all appointments at the Kitsap Public Health District community vaccine clinic for Jan. 26-28 are filled.
We experienced an overwhelming volume of demand after opening vaccine clinic registration Monday morning and the registration system was overloaded, causing many users to not be able to save appointments. If you did not receive a confirmation email from noreply@timetap.com, you most likely do not have an appointment. You can check your appointment status by returning to kphd.timetap.com and logging into the account you created, or by creating an account using the same email address you used to book the appointment.
We apologize for this issue. We will be working with our vendor to resolve this issue and make improvements moving ahead.
Kitsap Public Health will announce additional vaccination opportunities as vaccine supplies allow. There is no waiting list for COVID-19 vaccination through Kitsap Public Health. Sign up to be notified by email of future vaccination opportunities.
Please be aware that Kitsap Public Health and other COVID-19 vaccine providers are receiving an overwhelming number of vaccine inquiries. We may not be able to respond to individual requests for information.
Thank you for your continued patience as we work to make COVID-19 vaccine available in our community.
COVID-19 vaccine demand exceeds supply at this time; be ready for future opportunities
The demand for COVID-19 vaccination still far exceeds the supply of vaccine that is available at this time. Vaccine shipments from the state are not yet predictable or consistent, so Kitsap Public Health is only able to plan week-to-week for future events.
As expected, there was tremendous interest in the vaccine clinic and all available appointments filled up in less than an hour. We are excited to be able to offer vaccination to about 2,000 Kitsap residents this week and look forward to opening more appointments as soon as possible.
We understand it is frustrating when a limited number of appointments are available in our community and registration fills up quickly. We are asking community members to continue to be patient as vaccine supplies continue to grow and more appointments become available. It will take weeks for everyone who is eligible under this current phase to get vaccinated.
Unfortunately, Kitsap Public Health and other COVID-19 vaccine providers are aware of many instances of people who are not currently eligible for vaccination trying to get in line for vaccine. While our goal is to eventually make vaccine available to all community members, the people currently eligible for vaccination – including frontline healthcare workers and people older than 65 – are among the most vulnerable in our community and it is vitally important that they have access to vaccine. Please be truthful, be patient, and wait for your turn. We will get through this process together.
At this time, it is not feasible to manage a waiting list for vaccine appointments due to the overwhelmingly high demand and the requirements of the state’s phase rollout plan. The best to be ready for future vaccination opportunities is to sign up for notifications.
