Initially, Schulman's father had an appointment on February 25 with Hartford HealthCare, but Schulman wanted to see if he could get an earlier date since his dad is considered at-risk. "On Saturday, I woke up at midnight and tried to get my Dad another appointment but the online system would not work for me," said Schulman. "I tried again on Monday and I was finally able to get an appointment for my dad and he received his shot." Hartford Health Care said they are experiencing an influx in calls and will be working to help patients schedule an appointment if they have any problems.
