GMR sent the approval code and we scheduled an appointment.
We showed up on time and brought the State form signed by her doctor approving her for the vaccine based on extreme vulnerability to Covid-19. Her barcode was checked upon entrance and when we got to the front of the line the personnel on site refused to give her the vaccination because she is under 65. I showed them her signed form again and they still refused to vaccinate her.
I then pulled into a parking space so as not to block others from getting their vaccine and tried to call the Health Department. While trying to call, GMR personnel asked us to leave. I moved to a parking spot further away and a GMR employee came up to my car window and threatened to call the police unless I immediately departed the site. We were treated in a rude and insulting manner by GMR personnel and I don’t think this organization is worthy of working in Sumter County.

The Federal site at Valencia College that we drove to yesterday had to have the official form and not the letter from the doctor we had originally picked up to allow our daughter who is under 65 and high risk. (We brought both) It sounds like GMR didn't have a place for parking for people to straighten things out. That does sound really rude.
