Issue On Kane County COVID-19 Vaccine Website Preventing Scheduling Of Second Dose Corrected

CHICAGO (CBS) -- There is more confusion and frustration for some people trying to get a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, this time in the western suburbs.

Some tell CBS 2 they logged onto Kane County's vaccine website Thursday morning only to find no available appointments at the Batavia mass vaccination site.

Officials told them to book the second shot Thursday with a special code.

After CBS 2 called the health department said the issue is fixed and people can now book slots.

"What we didn't anticipate was that they would be checking in first thing in the morning. I anticipate from here on out anytime anyone gets a first dose, they can use that code to make the second dose appointment," said Michael Isaacson with the Kane County Health Department

Thursday was the first time patients could schedule a second dose at the site on Randall Road. 

CBS 2 checked the website and everything seems to be working.

So far since opening in March, they have given out around 20,000 doses.
