<Anchor> Last
night (19th), there was another problem with the vaccine reservation system, so the connection was delayed and a notice to wait for more than tens of hours appeared. Some users shared a loophole in the system that could bypass these queues.

Vaccination reservations for 53-year-olds and 54-year-olds had repeated errors with the start of last night at 8 o'clock, such as delays in access or the site down.
The quarantine authorities urgently stopped reservations, added cloud servers, and then resumed reservations at 10 pm, but this time, hundreds of thousands of users flocked to it, and the waiting time became longer from 60 to 70 hours.
[Those who wish to make a reservation for vaccination: Can't connect at all. Even when I clicked 'Go to Advance Reservation', it didn't click. (Even after it was sent), the waiting time became like this..]
At dawn, the rightful
53-
and 54-year-old users were blocked from booking with the message 'You are not subject to reservations within the period'.
The quarantine authorities explained this morning, "There was an error in the date calculation part of the coding designing the reservation site, and now it has been corrected."
Some online communities shared ways to bypass the long wait.
By setting the airplane mode on the smartphone and then turning it off again, or by entering a specific command in the Internet browser, you could skip the queue and make a reservation right away.
The quarantine authorities emphasized that an error occurred as the number of simultaneous users increased, but as it is now normalized, it is possible to book vaccinations for 53- and 54-year-olds by 6 pm today.
In addition, at 8:30 p.m. today, when making a reservation between the ages of 50 and 52, it was announced that the cloud server operation scale that was expanded last night will be maintained.
