I believe your count is off. When I was there on Thursday at 10:30 for the 10-11 slot there were exactly 26 cars in line with us (we counted) and 32+-2 or so in the 15 minute waiting zone. Most of all the cars we tied looking at including mine had 2 people and that was only one of the 4 1hr scheduled Thursday slots. So that one hour alone was likely 80 to 90 people and they had 3 other fully filled 1 hr slots that day. The next day I called the Sumter County DOH regarding shot #2 and she said there were only around 320 vaccines available for all of Thursday (and she said there were over 35,000 website hits to try to get one) which makes sense using my "visual guesstimate" of 80-90 in the 10-11 AM slot. Still not a lot nut a lot more than 140 on Thursday. As for 2nd shot, she said they will call you to setup an appointment but that process or location hasn't been finalized yet. She said it should be 2 to 2.5 weeks before they start calling folks for shot #2 appointments.
