“Zocdoc provides a great service that will help people access vaccines as the supply increases over the coming weeks and months, and Chicago residents can also sign up to be notified when new appointments become available,” said Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) Commissioner Allison Arwady, M.D. “While vaccine availability is still very limited nationwide, this exciting new partnership with Zocdoc is another step toward empowering individuals and families as we fight this disease and lean into the historic recovery that is sure to follow.” “Our goal in Chicago is to vaccinate as many residents as possible as fast as we can,” said Mayor Lori E.
Zocdoc will aggregate real-time appointment availability from select Chicago POD (Point of Dispensing) sites, as well as from leading local care organizations such as AMITA Health, Erie Family Health, Innovative Express Care and Rush University Medical Center, creating a central marketplace to help Chicagoans access vaccinations. "We're looking to partner with everyone who needs help with this," Kharraz said.CHICAGO, Febru– The City of Chicago and Zocdoc, the leader in online healthcare scheduling, today announced a partnership where Zocdoc will serve as the City’s main platform for eligible Chicago residents to find and book COVID-19 vaccinations.
Zocdoc expects more care organizations to "go live" with the the new service in the coming weeks. The new vaccine scheduling service is free to use and now available to hospitals and public and private health systems across the country. Zocdoc is a digital healthcare marketplace where patients can find doctors, book appointments, and attend virtual visits. The vaccine rollout "is just too important to get wrong, and that's why we felt we had to act." "It's our contribution to this public health effort," Kharraz said. In the last two days, the Zocdoc Vaccine Scheduler booked about 100 Covid-19 immunization appointments per minute for the hospital, already maxing out the available doses at the facility, Zocdoc Founder and CEO Oliver Kharraz told Insider.
Mount Sinai, New York City's largest academic medical system, has booked more than 100,000 COVID-19 vaccination appointments for healthcare workers and eligible patients since it started using a new immunization scheduling feature rolled out by the app Zocdoc.
