Sorry, looks like it has been done 😳.

It might be interesting to see how close to useful this comes.

Biden promised a Federal Website to give citizens easy an accurate
access to vaccination appointments. Fully operational May 1, date that
all Americans wishing a vaccine/vaccination will be able to obtain
one.
Assume 50,000 vaccination sites, 50, 15-minute, time slots per day
and, at that time, a maximum of 150 million clients.
There are several people on this list who, I believe, could build this
Website over the course of a weekend, including UE (user experience)
elements like Google Maps for site locations, and install it on a
cloud server for volume scaling/descaling. Allow a month to collect
data - the only thing really problematic is a list of sites,
addresses, and operational hours (to constrain the daily calendar
slots).
Total cost: < $25,000 ($500 hr - you folks deserve this pay rate - for
40-50 hours)
Now the wager: I bet that the feds will contract with a major software
development corporation for development. Contract will be in the range
of 5 and 10 million dollars; there is a 50% chance the site will be
late or deployed with partial functionality; there is a 20% chance
that it will be as dramatic a failure upon debut as was the
healthcare.gov site.
Risk is two beverages of your/my choice — payable when next we can
share a physical presence.
