County says it is working to correct problems
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Yuma County issued an apology to the community Wednesday for problems many experienced while trying to sign up for a coronavirus vaccine.
The county opened its phone lines at 1 Tuesday afternoon. Within minutes, the lines were jammed with callers. Some people tell KYMA.com they never got past a busy signal. Others report being turned away after they did get through.
County health officials say all available appointments were booked by 1:50 p.m., in less than an hour.
