By mid May 95,000 fully immunized. Assuming almost all of those are Sumter residents, not snowbirds that are leaving, that would be the point we hit 75% of Sumter County vaccinated, and hopefully herd immunity.

Summer is looking good.
You don't have to be a Sumter County resident to sign up. I live in Lake County in The Villages and I am signed up for my dose. You do have to be over 65 however.

Lake County is doing their shots in Clermont and Mt Dora. My neighbor went to Clermont about a week ago without an appointment and got hers. It seems that down there, it's first come first served and you wait in line in your car for hours. I'd rather get an appointment and wait a few weeks for the appointment than to sit in my car for three or four hours.
