This new account registration number lets residents see where they are in the queue to receive the coronavirus vaccine in Sarasota County.
SARASOTA, FL — Sarasota County has added vaccine account registration numbers to all accounts signed up through its new Everbridge coronavirus vaccine registration system, according to an email from Sarasota County Emergency Services.
Those who have registered through Everbridge can view their number in the COVID-19 vaccine queue by logging into their Everbridge account. Their registration number is located next to their “account number” section, which they can find by scrolling down through their account, said Donn Patchen, SCES communications director, in a video released by the county.
The registration numbers went live Thursday at noon. For new accounts, the registration number will be available the next day by 11 a.m., SCES said.
