A database can be created in the order someone registers. In numerous other states (I.e. Texas) the registration for the Vaccine is done on line.

Well many seniors would have computer problems as well however they did it online today. Sumter County used EVENTRBITE.COM (be careful, there were some EVENTBRITE scams) to "sell free tickets" for tomorrows vaccine. You had to be be FAST AND FIRST so use a PC not a phone. There weren't many because they "sold out" in 6 minutes. Lucky us we got in early for 2. Keep an eye on the Sumter County health dept website. Also they are starting to test a program at PUBLIX stores in Marion County. This was the link for the now SOLD OUT online signup but more will be announced by S.C.H.

That being said, we would have much preferred
NOT to get tickets if priority went to those essential workers who really need & deserve them however the Gov decided (
IMO wrongly) the 65+ should be priority over those folks and if we didn't get one it would still go to another person like us.
