Which would be awesome if the percentage of those eligible to get a shot in Sumter County is more than triple that of Florida as a whole.

We have a lot of seniors. Over 60% of Sumter County is seniors. Even for Florida that is odd.

So even though we have a high vaccination rate overall (22% vs 13.3% statewide)
We have a so-so rate of vaccinating Seniors (34% vs 39% statewide)

So yes, we can be doing great and below average at the same time.

Good news is we are getting better everyday.

And my friends on the GMR list that were shut out of appointments when it closed are now being offered appointments (even though they don’t need them anymore). So GMR is running through their waitlist.
