Why Are COVID-19 Vaccination Booking Websites So Difficult to Use? Webinar 2pm 9 June

There has been concern about the slow take-up of COVID-19 vaccinations. The Australian federal, state and territory governments and non-government clinics are providing website for eligible members of the public to book. 

In this seminar I will explore the questions:

1. How hard are these websites to use? 
2. How could this be made easier?

The content will be based on the blog post "Why Are the Federal & ACT COVID-19 Vaccination Booking Websites So Difficult to Use?" and and developed further here in this blog (contributions welcome). The draft presentation slides are available and a video presentation.
