L. Shapley Bassen, left, talks with her husband, Michael, as they stand for a photo in their home in East Greenwich, R.I., Thursday, March 11, 2021. The road to a COVID-19 shot often leads through a maze of scheduling systems: Some vaccine seekers spend days or weeks trying to book online appointments.

She lost track of the hours she spent making phone calls and navigating websites to get appointments for herself and her 75-year-old husband, Michael. "A lot of us don't sleep at night worrying about whether or not we'll be able to get in," she said. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
