Look for appointments in the middle of the night, or very early morning.
Consider where you're able to travel to ahead of time — if you have easy transportation or lots of time to kill, consider looking a little afield for an appointment. "Don't limit yourself in terms of locale," writes Stephen Benson, of Salem — who got his shots in Dartmouth. "If getting vaccinated is important to you, go the extra mile and make the time to go anywhere to get one."
Use a computer instead of a smartphone (it's easier to put in all the information, and open pages in new tabs on the computer, according to many readers).
Open links to possible appointments in a new tab (here's how to do that) in case it's booked by the time you get to the page, so you can get back to the main page and find a different time.
Have your insurance information ready (but remember, you can still book an appointment if you do not have insurance).
Be persistent! "Keep refreshing your screen until you are successful," says Nina Ferry, of West Tisbury.
