Many did not get any notification of relocation and went to Sumterville then had to travel back to Wildwood.
If you went to the GMR site at the church you still have to get your second shot in a month and that's when the issues could start. My first shot was easy although I was on the waiting list for a month before I was scheduled and the site for the first shot was changed the day before I was scheduled from Buffalo Ridge to Sumterville. I was not notified of the change by GMR. A friend told me they had been re-located so I checked out the original site early and found it was not active. Went to new site and was in and out in 35 minutes that included 30 minute after shot monitoring.
My second shot was to be at Sumterville next Thursday at 5:30 but now Sumterville is being used for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and the GMR Moderna site is at the church in Wildwood and is only open 9 to 5. Today's paper says the church site will be doing shots today and tomorrow but nothing about next week. I won't know until possibly Monday if the site is still in Wildwood. I'm hoping that GMR will actually let me know but so far their communication has not been good.
Be prepared make sure you keep your original confirmation bar code this seems to be
one requirement for getting your second shot and keep checking the newspaper for info on where the GMR site is as there is no guarantee that it will still be in Wildwood.

It still is easy-peasy if you ask me. With Saferestart, which you used, the second shot appointment was valid and we showed up and they jabbed. Moving the sight around is a little tricky, but there are perks from the sites powered by the Government, Fema, such at Valencia College, that we took our handicapped 56 year old daughter to last week, and there are perks to having the site run by private companies, such as Saferestart. There are downsides to both.
I like to keep my eye on the prize which is that the world of science worked together to bring us protection against a deadly to older people virus.
