Do you use firefox? I think by default it uses UTC to prevent fingerprinting.

The site is showing the correct timezone for me on safari.

Correct, I'm using firefox.

I didn't know about the UTC thing in firefox, usually it will show the correct local time. But now that you mention it, the online booking system for the local vaccination centre shows the time in UTC, too. Recently I actually filed a bug report to their administration because of that.

All other sites I can think of — including https://time.is/ — are showing the correct localtime.

This should only happen when you activate resistfingerprinting iirc
