The booking system went live at noon Monday.It got mixed feedback from two of Juneau’s elected officials on Monday night.“It’s been really, really really hard, and very frustrating, and people are very happy with the work the CBJ’s been doing,” Assembly member Michelle Hale said to city staff at the end of a committee meeting. “So I just can’t thank you enough. Every single person that gets that vaccine brings us one step closer. So thank you.”“Ms. Hale, I’m going to need your help,” Assembly member Loren Jones replied with a chuckle. “‘Cause I’ve failed twice. … Still no appointments.”Vaccine eligibility is limited mainly to people age 65 and up, like Jones, or frontline health care workers.In city officials’ weekly COVID-19 community update on Tuesday, City Manager Rorie Watt apologized for the frustration. He also said he appreciated that the community wants to get vaccinated.“So some communities are struggling with the question of, ‘How do we convince people to get vaccinated?’” Watt said. “And we don’t have that problem here. I think Juneau’s been really receptive to the science and the public health.”Watt said city staff hope to schedule more mass vaccination events.As of today, city officials know of 10 residents with active cases. Case numbers are trending down here and statewide. City officials lowered the local risk level and community restrictions one notch on Monday.Original story | 4:01 p.m.
