When they reported the Orlando Convention Center was going to take reservations this morning at 8 I logged on through the patient portal site and my wife and I had our first and second appointments by 8:15 and confirming emails and texts by 8:30. I started getting aggressive because in my mind waiting to be contacted by Sumter or GMR and fighting the Publix battle (ok, getting out of bed at 5:40 AM was the real issue  )just wasn't working for us. |
Please explain. What does state-sponsored mean? I thought the vaccine was being distributed to the states from the Federal Government, not directly to the counties. Does the state have separate vaccination locations that are different from the county vaccination locations? Is Publix a state-sponsored program? If so, why isn't this statewide website prioritizing and scheduling the vaccine appointments at Publix? Why does the statewide site require you to select only one county? Very confusing.
