Thanks for the link. My whole family/extended family/friends got both doses already, but I will pass the link on to anyone else who may need it.
It's actually pretty easy to get an appointment in New York, if you are mildly persistent and know the tricks.
I already have an appointment for my 16-year-old son for tomorrow in Westchester County.
Trick #1 -- The State "mega sites" -- Ignore the front page that says "no appointments available" - Click on the nearest mega sites anyway. They are constantly adding appointments, people cancelling, etc. Even where the front page says no appointments are available, there often are. If there aren't any, refresh an hour later. If you try a few times, you will get an appointment scheduled.
#2 -- Check the pharmacy websites regularly.
Basically, a lot of people who are having trouble getting appointments are just looking at the front page of the "am I eligible" site, seeing that it says none are available, and giving up for the day.
I just tried it myself: Despite listing no appointments on the front page, Javitz actually had an appointment for tomorrow, 4/9. (They come and go within seconds)
Ulster County had 1 appointment for April 12th
I refreshed again.. Jatvitz 4/9 was gone, but they had an appointment for 5/12 open..
So if you spend a few minutes cycling through and refreshing, you definitely can get an appointment. It can be frustrating for those less computer savvy.
