ST. GEORGE, Utah High demand for the COVID-19 vaccine from southwest Utah residents aged 70 and older caused the local health department s website to crash on Monday morning. We understand how frustrating this is for many of our seniors, read a statement from David Heaton, spokesperson for the Southwest Utah Public Health Department.
Once the website became overwhelmed, the local health department sought the help from the state to set up a temporary sign-up page. It s very frustrating, said Washington County resident Marsha Rogers. This is just so unfair to those other people who are not technology savvy.
Once the temporary page got up and running, all remaining vaccine appointments through the end of January were quickly reserved.
