Analysis of vaccine appointment sites for every US state, Puerto Rico, and DC shows some have issues maintaining users' privacy, loading on mobile devices, more
that vaccination website really is crawling along Tweets: Rebecca Piazza / @rdpiazza : Fantastic analysis of each state's vaccine registration site. It's easy to assume variance between government services between states is due to outdated legacy software but this shows how wide differences can be even in new sites. https://twitter.com/... Cyd Harrell / @cydharrell : pair this comparative/quantitative article with the qualitative piece from @epicenter_nyc & you have a pretty solid picture of the vaccine website situation https://twitter.com/... @ohnobackspace : right now, to get an appointment, you basically need to dedicate a person's whole attention + a whole computer to refreshing multiple websites constantly maybe i missed it, but i would like more of an HCI discourse about how interfaces are driving inequity in the vaccine rollout https://twitter.com/... Matt Henry / @heymatthenry : It's actually pretty encouraging that most states had 90+ Lighthouse accessibility scores, but as the article alludes to, there's a lot more to making a site work for blind users than can be discovered through automated tests. https://themarkup.org/... David H. Montgomery / @dhmontgomery : Using @themarkup's tool, I tested @mnhealth's #COVID19 website, and found it contains 5 ad trackers and 17 third-party cookies. About half of state vaccine portals had cookies, with an average of 2.8 ad trackers & 3.4 third-party cookies: https://themarkup.org/... https://twitter.com/... @therealwbtc : I've been shocked at how much time, visual acuity, and Internet-savviness has been required to score a vaccine appointment in San Francisco. Here's a thread of some things I learned while helping a few different people make appointments in the past couple weeks. https://twitter.com/... Sam Morris / @sammorrisdesign : The consequences of not having nationalised healthcare has resulted each state building their own Covid-19 vaccine appointment website. Replicating a lot of work, and more importantly offering different levels of quality to Americans based on where they live. David Carroll / @profcarroll : In some states, you might consider booking your vaccine appointment with your browser privacy settings turned up to 11 to protect you from the pathogens of adtech infecting public health platforms. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/... Joanna Stern / @joannastern : So in addition to slot-machine-like appointment booking systems you're also being tracked. Great job, 🇺🇸 tech! https://twitter.com/... Russell Brandom / @russellbrandom : Puerto Rico has America's fastest-loading vaccine website https://themarkup.org/... https://twitter.com/...
