Скачать или смотреть Registration system crashes as Mecklenburg Co. opens vaccine appointments

Mecklenburg County's COVID-19 vaccine registration system was overwhelmed by patients Tuesday as the county opened appointments for all adults age 16 and older.

At 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Mecklenburg County Public Health opened appointments for what will be Group 5 vaccinations. The system was quickly overloaded by users trying to schedule their appoint. In a tweet, the county asked for patience as they were experiencing "technical difficulties."

StarMed, the health care provider administering the vaccines at Bojangles Coliseum, said they simply had too many patients trying to schedule at once. Arin Piramzadian, the chief medical officer for Starmed, told WCNC Charlotte's Chloe Leshner their system was capable of handling up to 10 patients per second register and the demand was much greater than that to crash the system.

"We spoke with the website that was hosting our appointments and they were prepared for it, they just weren't this prepared for it," Piramzadian said. "It's exciting that this many people want to get vaccinated. it just overwhelmed the system a little bit."
