If you get the page that says no appointments available, close that browser tab immediately and do it again, and again, and again, and again, over and over. And when you finally see a time and not the no appointments available page, don't take your time looking at the date or the time, immediately scroll down and accept it and click to secure the time. You have to be very fast to scroll down and click to accept the time. If it's not a good time you can always close the page before filling out the form which they give you several minutes to complete, but if you hesitate even for a second to look at the date/time you'll be SOL. Be patient and you'll get lucky. Click, exit, click, exit, click, exit... When they update the site with appointments, there are a lot of them at once. I've been able to secure times for many people doing that process over the last few weeks. Do it for a while and if it doesn't work, try back a few hours later. I've had a lot of success after 10pm. More often than not you'll see a time, try to click on it, and by the time you click through to accept the time, it's gone. But keep trying.

I've never seen an appointment time come up for Jones Beach or Javits in all the times I've tried getting appointments for people. Don't know why but only Aqueduct has worked for me, which is the closest to me anyway.

The whole thing is annoying and frustrating but the process does work. And if you have a date that you want to move up, you can sign up a second time for an earlier date but you have to cancel the later one within 48 hours or they'll cancel the later one for you automatically. They'll email you the day after you make the duplicate appointment and text you that you need to cancel it because I assume they batch process overnight and look for duplicate names / birthdays, is my guess. I had March 12th and yesterday I was able to move it up to tomorrow.
I tried this, and finally succeeded for the Stony Brook location. Thanks for the tip, it definitely worked!

100% accurate. I did this for my wife an got an appointment for yesterday at Aqueduct. For those 65 and over, I suggest trying the Rite-Aid website. Gives 8-10 places within a 25 mile radius.

I DM'd you as well, but awesome, thanks! Got my wife a date and moved mine up 4 weeks. Like the worst video game ever, but it worked! Many thanks.

6 months from now nobody will care about covid because we’ll be in a full blown recession.
We’ll be more worried about paying the rent.
They’ll keep moving the goal post back and forth as needed for covid-control while they continue to utterly obliterate the economy. While appointing “women” with penises to government positions.
The worst is nowhere near over. Not even half way up the hill yet.

Wait for the $8 gallon of gas! It's coming, along with $6 carton of eggs, $10 gallon of milk.

Good luck heating your homes. Oh, and that will also drive up electric bills.
Real estate will tank. All the cidiots that waaay overpaid for their “safe house” in the country, they’re gonna be regretting that big time, gonna be a fun time for sure. But don’t worry, public sector employees will still get their raises and full pensions. So as you sit there freezing in the dark, wondering how you will pay the mortgage, enjoy the fact that your property taxes will still increase.
The 2nd Great Depression is coming.

Who needs gas with electric cars, and electric for home with solar? I don't see the issue. LMFAO
