[Hidden-tech] Mass Vax website problems

[Jack L.]

Here's my story: successfully got an appointment, it told me i didn't get
it initially then put me in a "virtual waiting room" (first an hour then 24
hrs it said) then i got the one i asked for all along. It's incredibly
slapdash! the state was emailing an unauthenticated link to register second
appointments and had to switch to reserving them at the locations! (as per
local health director, people were "leaking" these non-unique urls on
facebook)
