An online site used to book COVID-19 vaccines in the London area was attacked by bots, as thousands attempted to register for their vaccine appointments. According to the London Free Press, just before 10:15 a.m., the Middlesex-London Health Unit tweeted the booking system had experienced challenges. “We have addressed the issues and will continue to monitor the booking system closely,” the organization claimed.
Chris Mackie, medical officer of health for London and Middlesex County, said, "The site was attacked by bots this morning. Problem is now fixed. Appointments are still available for those over 75 years. If you have trouble, please be patient and try again.”
