When the news came that the Stockholm region has begun the fourth vaccination phase, tens of thousands of people tried to book an appointment at the same time in the app Always open. But that pressure withstood the region's system. Mikael Westerlund, technical manager at the data provider Globalconnect, believes that the region must be better prepared for such occasions. - It is remarkable that in a burning pandemic we are met by these bottlenecks.
The booking was very slow and the delay meant that those who wanted to get vaccinated could have to make many attempts before the booking went through.
Maria Ahlmark, object owner for Always Open, says that secure handling of sensitive data requires its capacity and that the server environment has now been further expanded.
