[Bilyclub]

If you just drove up without an appointment and they processed you....shame on you and those who allowed it.

For those not aware, the vaccine protects you if you get the Virus. It is unknown if the vaccine also prevents you from transmitting the virus. So precautions need to be continued until determined otherwise.

Do I need to wear a mask and still avoid close contact after receiving 2 doses of the vaccine.

Yes.

While experts learn more about the protection that COVID-19 vaccines provide under real-life conditions, it will be important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to us to help stop this pandemic, like covering your mouth and nose with a mask, washing hands often, and staying at least 6 feet away from others.

Together, COVID-19 vaccination and following CDC’s recommendations for how to protect yourself and others will offer the best protection from getting and spreading COVID-19.

Experts need to understand more about the protection that COVID-19 vaccines provide before deciding to change recommendations on steps everyone should take to slow the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. Other factors, including how many people get vaccinated and how the virus is spreading in communities, will also affect this decision.

Tell that to the old guy who was on line behind my husband at Panera Bread just a little while ago. He came within one foot behind my husband as he stood on line. Hubby asked him to please step back to leave 6 feet. The old guy's answer....."Get over it. Get over it".

It is people with attitudes like this old guy that has put our country in the dire mess it is in now with this pandemic. Thanks. NOT!!!!!

[TimeForChange]

So you just went and got in line without an appt.?

Yes, but I was told my a friend that they stopped doing that without an appt. just after we left. We were their early. They are going to be here for 90 days.

[TimeForChange]

What about the folks who have appointments? Are they taking drive up people before those with appointments?

Not anymore. Must have an appt.

Hey look I don't make the rules. What should I have done? Say no! My wife is having cancer surgery in a week. We were there kind of early. They knew people were having trouble getting appts. online so they agreed. Some of you find something wrong with anything a person posts on here. They are here for 90 days according to a friend who went. Early bird gets the worm! Did you learn that one in school? :MOJE_whot:

[TimeForChange]

Did they give you and your wife appointments for your second shots?

They give you a vaccination card kind of like in the military. They said an appt. would be sent via email in 28 days for the second shot.

So what did her oncologist recommend about vaccine. All three of mine were adamant about not getting the vaccine

No problem. People always find a negative. Her cancer is very rare. Slow growth big cell. Secondly none of your concern! Remember HIPPA!

That is not true. I spoke with a Dr. relative today who works for the CDC in Atlanta. This person is an infectious disease specialist and way up in ranks. She said better to get than not. With all the testing it proved that the injection can protect you but not enough concrete data to show that you cannot still contact the virus. Time will tell.

[thelegges]

You posted, on social media, CANCER. The negative for me is 4th cancer, and was surprised that when you are immune compromised, all 3 of my oncologist did not want vaccine given. Since 2 are from the U in MI and one from UF, it was a short conversation, all in agreement wait.
If you didn’t want people to comment, and none of their business, one might want to reread your posts before hitting send. It’s not HIPPA, if coming from patient or patient family, which I am guessing you have permission from spouse to post. After 45 years in medical I can recite that piece of paper backwards

You do your thing and we will do ours. We are ok with the vaccine. If you are not I feel for your cancer and hope you get better. This is my wife's third round and she has been everywhere from MD Anderson to Emory in Atlanta and currently Moffit in Tampa. Good luck and prayers with you!

I'm confused. The text you are taking exception to comes directly from the CDC website. Are you asserting that your contact in the CDC disagrees with the official position of the CDC or are you in violent agreement with the post that you are disagreeing with?

The site you tried is incorrect originally m paper but has been updated USTA add an r to safe and try again

Just enter zeros for SS AND none for Insurance
Great site but old questionnaire.

[ckbenjamin]

Sure would be nice if I could access the website.

[KSSunshine]

Same here.
We signed up Monday and just got the appointment for a week from Friday (Jan 22). Wondering if they went by age of the 65+. Either way, just happy that we both have appointments for the first and second doses.

[PJOHNS2654]

Get a friend or family member to assist you with registration online.
https://Sumter Fl.saferestart.net/vaccination
They ask who your insurance with and your social security number and picture of medical card.
They will send emails verifying registration and another to go back in to Safe Restart finish could be on wait list most got within 24 hrs to go in to pick day and time.
Step 2 they send you a code for COVID-19 Vaccination. You bring this email with you to verify your appointment.
Email coming in you will see first DoNotreply before Safe Restart.
Hope this will help.

[Girlcopper]

Thats for sure. They stress Do NOT show without an appt. if others do what you did, you just jammed up the lines and its unfair to those who now have to sit in line longer even though they have an appt. follow rules and be fair to others

[Girlcopper]

Hopefully this is just bait to stir an already agrivated pot.

If you just drove up without an appointment and they processed you....shame on you and those who allowed it.
Exactly. We all need the vaccine and are waiting for appts like we are supposed to. No wonder the wait lines are so long even with an appt!! Jumping the line with no appt is pretty lousy

[TimeForChange]

Thats for sure. They stress Do NOT show without an appt. if others do what you did, you just jammed up the lines and its unfair to those who now have to sit in line longer even though they have an appt. follow rules and be fair to others
Please read my entire thread. We did not jump any lines! Please don't tell me or chastise me for anything I did. My wife and I were just like others. We had tried to find out where the site was in TV after she saw the governor on an Orlando TV station in TV. We heard it where it was located and the street on TV. We tried to get the website to provide an appt but it was not working properly. So, we jumped in the car and drove to find it. There were very few cars and they had just opened up. We ask how to get an appointment, told them we were unable to get the website to work and they said just go to line three and they will sign you up. So we did and we received the injections. Some of you on here want to be critical of everything. We did not cause any problems for people who were there. They waited no longer than we did. Sorry but the early bird gets the worm. Since then they are requiring appts. My thought is that they did not have a full day of appts. when we arrived so they let us in. Sorry that you did not feel the urgency and drive up to see how to get an appt. If you will look on Village News there is an article about the confusion with the website. :icon_wink:

We did not "jam any lines up" There were no lines. Read the response above before being critical. If you had seen the governor on TV and he was in The Villages talking about the site you probably or may have done the same. Don't accuse me of something without knowing the details.

[chlass]

I thought the same thing.. at the bottom of page drag to the left and then you can put in the code

I got a code, but the NEXT button is not working...??? Is it because there are no available appointments, perhaps?

[dbcolli]

I had the same thing happen to me, what I did was change my browser from Bing to Google Chrome and I was able to enter my code.

[jackiez45]

i did that but there is no place to hit to enter it? I enter and hit next and seems to be frozen0

[dbcolli]

Once I changed to Chrome, I started the process all over with a new code, it Worked.

[Jacob85]

Me either

[mjpuleo]

Don't you need an appointment for the new place in TV that DeSantis is talking about?

[Psacc0]

Sure would be nice if I could access the website.

move your screen to the right and you will see the box to insert the code

[islandtimeCB]

Will people 55-64 be able to get the vaccine in the next three months? What about Canadians and Brit's that are home owners in The Villages?

[bcoffey]

Still not right

[coffeebean]

I signed up Monday AM Got code Tuesday PM. First available date is Jan 24.

I applied Monday, Jan. 11th and got my email and text today with the code to register. It was around 3:00pm that the text and email came in. I chose a 4:00pm to 4:30pm window today and headed out the door to go to the site. Just THAT fast once I got that 2nd email and text. That second email also included an appointment for the 2nd shot exactly 28 days from today and the same time window as today.

The operation is very organized and safe. They have three ambulances on site in the event someone needs emergency care. Make sure you receive a card with your vaccination information on it after your vaccination.

Good luck to everyone who wishes to be vaccinated. It was a very easy process.
