Online registration was swamped, but 5,000 made appointments this week
New Hope Police Chief Tim Hoyt received his COVID-19 Moderna vaccine from nurse Gloria Christensen at a vaccine clinic this month at Wayzata High School in Plymouth.
Minnesotans 65 and older clogged phone lines and crashed a state website Tuesday as they sought to make appointments for a new, limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine at nine test sites.
Online registration launched at noon but was disrupted within an hour as the website was overwhelmed with a peak of 10,000 hits per second. The site closed to new registrants at 2 p.m. in order to serve people stuck in a waiting queue, but in the end connected more than 5,000 people with vaccine appointments this Thursday through Saturday.
Another 4,000 people were on a waitlist for this week's appointments.
