Great video @Lottoguy. Helps us get a good feel for what we will all (eventually all) be doing over the next few months. Thanks for making this.

[FromDC]

Thank you for posting! We hope to be in that vaccination line real soon!!

[Lottoguy]

We have a barcode and we will be there on Friday. Looks like a well run system.

[Mleeja]

Has anyone registered on this site with the intention of using the registration for someone else. For example you have a elderly neighbor who is not experienced with computers. So I make the initial registration not giving my ssn or insurance information. When I get the approval to make the appointment, I register my neighbor.

I haven't tried it (too young) but I have to believe there would be a way to sign up someone who doesn't have a computer. Is there some point in the process where they ask for the name of the individual registering for the vaccination? If you entered your neighbor's name then how is that different than if his/her fingers were on the keyboard?

Of course, the email would come to you and you would have to print it for your neighbor but all the information would be his/hers.

Is there a phone number to call GMR and ask this question?

Looks well organized and the video is very informative. Thanks for posting. We are on the waiting list

[red tail]

I signed up 2 of my neighbors with no problem. All you need from them is their birth date and email or phone nr.

[gatorbill1]

The only problem is they say you go on waiting list per the time you do first signup. They are not doing that because people that signed up Monday and are on the wait list are not getting 2nd code for appt,. while people that signed up Tuesday, already have gotten their second code and appt.
Would be excellent if they did what they said they were going to do with wait list.

[genobambino]

Went there at 1pm today, really well run and smooth out of there by 1:30 including wait time after injection.. the only problem were some people showing up with no appt. and I guess arguing and holding up the line and be turned around and out... so if you don't have an appt. don't go, they won't let you in.

[Bill32]

So how do you sign up and get an appointment???

I would suggest you apply with all your neighbor's information with the exception of SS# and insurance information. Then you will have all that information already in the system to go ahead with step #2.

They WERE letting people in this afternoon without and appointment but I was there for a 4:00 to 4:30 window. I arrived at 3:45 and waited in a line of cars separate from those who did not have an appointment.

I would imagine at the end of the day, they do allow folks with no appointments to get on line. At that point they know how many appointments they have vs how many vaccines they have left for the day. That is only what I surmise and that is by no means what is actually the reason why they were vaccinating people that did not have appointments.

[coffeebean]

So how do you sign up and get an appointment???

Apply and register on this website. It is a two-part process.......

Safe Restart (https://sumterfl.saferestart.net/)

[msilagy]

Of course, why not. I registered older friends with THEIR info ( cell #, email, name address, etc). As long as it's their info what's the issue? Being helpful is good medicine.

[Songbird]

Once you register with saferestart and get an appointment code, what website do you use to insert the code to get an appointment? It is not the same website as the saferestart website.

[FromNY]

Just remember you still need to mask , social distance and wash hands! Even after second injection. Vaccine designed to lessen severity of the virus. Not cure it.Hearing to many comments that go " got my shot now can toss the mask ."

[judynlee]

A friend who was unable to complete the form online simply drove there and received the vaccine. She said there were two lines, one for appointments and one for folks who had no computers, for instance.

[Cbrown4399]

This happened to me. Signed up on Monday and still don’t have the code. It says to not resubmit but now I’m wondering if there was a glich on Monday. Anyone know?

[coffeebean]

Once you register with saferestart and get an appointment code, what website do you use to insert the code to get an appointment? It is not the same website as the saferestart website.

It is the same page on the website. Just click on Step 2 to proceed with the registration.

[coffeebean]

Just remember you still need to mask , social distance and wash hands! Even after second injection. Vaccine designed to lessen severity of the virus. Not cure it.Hearing to many comments that go " got my shot now can toss the mask ."

Very true. I was one of those who said I would no longer wear a mask once I'm immune. That is after the second shot and after the waiting period after that second shot to develop the 94.5% efficacy of the vaccine. I also read that the vaccine offers 100% protection of becoming so ill that hospitalization is required. That is a good enough for me to make the decision to get the vaccine.

I was not willing to protect the anti-vaxers by continuing to wear a mask and social distance from others. I have since changed my tune about ditching the mask and no longer social distancing once I'm immune. I understand now that it will take a long time to vaccinate everyone who WANTS to be vaccinated.

Once our country has reached a safe herd immunity by inoculations, it is then and only then I will ditch my mask and not worry about social distancing from others. That time will be when we are informed by the CDC that it is safe to drop the precautions. Until then, it is everyone's job to keep others safe and slow the spread of this virus.

We have a barcode and we will be there on Friday. Looks like a well run system.

Received my first shot yesterday. It took me approximately 30 minutes from entering the site to leaving the premises. It’s a well oiled machine and deserves high praise. My arm is a little sore, but that’s it! My next appointment is already scheduled. How do you spell relief? M-O-D-E-R-N-A!!

[Bridget Staunton]

How do you register & get a barcode

[Bridget Staunton]

How did you register or do you just show up & when do they open

[coffeebean]

This happened to me. Signed up on Monday and still don’t have the code. It says to not resubmit but now I’m wondering if there was a glich on Monday. Anyone know?

I also applied on Monday, Jan 11th and people were reporting they applied AFTER me and were being notified of their codes to go to Step 2 in the registration process. I contacted the main company about this and received an email within minutes that a local representative will be getting in touch with me soon. Within one hour of that email, I received a text message giving me my code so I could go to Step 2 on the SafeRestart website. Was it coincidence? I'll never know for sure but I've got my first shot within one hour of getting my code to register. There was a time slot available that afternoon so I took it. Got my first shot yesterday, Jan. 13th. I was given my appointment for 28 days after my first shot in an email after I selected the time window for my first shot. The process is a good one.

This is the site I used to contact the main company........

If one person in a vehicle has a bar code and spouse doesn't have one yet will they be able to get the vaccine.

Has anyone registered on this site with the intention of using the registration for someone else. For example you have a elderly neighbor who is not experienced with computers. So I make the initial registration not giving my ssn or insurance information. When I get the approval to make the appointment, I register my neighbor.

It asks for your SS# and insurance info that is how they identify you. See no reason why if you enter her info it would be a problem. The confirmation email and appointment email comes to the address you put in when you register.

[rmd2]

This happened to me. Signed up on Monday and still don’t have the code. It says to not resubmit but now I’m wondering if there was a glich on Monday. Anyone know?

I am assuming you signed up with the "saferestart" website. Which I did too. You will get the bar code soon. I signed up early on Monday and by Wednesday I had my barcode and appointment. I did get my vaccination on Wednesday and one of the workers there on Monday said they would stay in the Buffalo Ridge location into the future so people could get vaccinated.

[rmd2]

Received my first shot yesterday. It took me approximately 30 minutes from entering the site to leaving the premises. It’s a well oiled machine and deserves high praise. My arm is a little sore, but that’s it! My next appointment is already scheduled. How do you spell relief? M-O-D-E-R-N-A!!

Same thing here. I am so HAPPY this system is working and I got my vaccination!

[Jacob85]

I signed up Monday at 3:42 and lots of other people have appointments but nothing yet for me! It’s computer pick so guess it doesn’t like me

[Bill1701]

I tried sumterfl.saferestart.net and got a code to enter. Only problem was the site didn't have a place to enter the code once I got it. Maybe they were full, but they should have a message to that effect.

[Lyn Wagner]

I think it would be a kind thing to do when you get your shot give the person a gift card for there dedication and hard work. Thinking $10.00 from McDonald's Starbucks etc. they surly deserve a thank you.

[dbcolli]

Changed my browser to Chrome, Then I was able to complete the registration.

[Byte1]

So, I read in the news that they only had a little over 300 doses. That doesn't seem to be accurate, but if so those that registered late are not going to get vaccinated because those that did not get registered got in line for their shot and still received a vaccination. I have been trying to get my spouse signed up for her vaccination by several means but always seem to get the info too late and they are always out of doses. If they are giving away slots to those that are not going through the process, that does not seem like a very good process. I drove past the site yesterday and saw the lines waiting for their shots and thought how nice and orderly it seemed. I guess, like Europe the best way to get served is to jump the line. I didn't think that America would resort to that attitude of shoving others out of the way like they do in other countries. I am not concerned about getting my shot as the VA will eventually give me one, but my spouse won't leave the house because she is afraid that she might die from an infection. She's been shut in for the past year in fear that her multiple health issues would make infection fatal. For those that jumped the line without registering, I sincerely hope you needed the vaccination more than those that have been patiently proceeding in a civil manner--by following the process of going about it by following directions.
If you come on here to brag about how you didn't register but still got your vaccination, don't expect a pat on the back in congratulations. Your jumping the line, may just have caused someone else major grief. I bet the ones jumping in front of others in line to get their shot are some of the same ones that admonish the non-maskers for being selfish.
I know that everyone will eventually have the opportunity to get their vaccination, but that is of little comfort for some that are shut in and do not have computer skills or get the news early enough to get in line today. I will get mine from the VA but that does not help my spouse get hers so she can feel safe enough to leave the protection of our home.
Congrats to those that got their immunization so fast. Thanks to our leadership for making this possible, so fast. Other than a few glitches, the process seems to be moving along very well.

Congrats to those that got their immunization so fast. Thanks to our leadership for making this possible, so fast. Other than a few glitches, the process seems to be moving along very well. I have also been reading about these 'line jumpers' in various Vaccine threads and I believe you said it well. Allow the Sumter Health Department automated system to work. When they get the doses, they will release the names from the wait list.

Posters should stop misguiding people on how to circumvent the system. Only go to the vaccination site if you have an appointment.

[mistervin]

Both points said well. Stop rewarding those who don’t follow the rules. I found the process very well organized and executed. Thanks to the staff working there; they were personable and professional.

[walterray1]

Have gone to the website. Clicked on need to get vaccine appointment. Received email with codes but site does not allow me to enter them. Any ideas?

[wiltma]

Once you register with saferestart and get an appointment code, what website do you use to insert the code to get an appointment? It is not the same website as the saferestart website.

When you get the actual code for the vaccine, they give you a link back to the original website and you do #2 and it then asks for that code, put it in and continue to fill out this page. You select your date and time from the drop down box

[Nevinmann]

I believe this is the site one gets by signing up via Saferestart, which I did. I have a registration confirmation code, but can't be sure of the place or exact time.

Is there a way to find this out? The Saferestart site is not helpful.

[walterray1]

I entered my email address and click on Authenticate. Received two emails each with a different Safe Restart code number and no link. The saferestart website does not show a place to enter a code at that point. Maybe it is full or overwhelmed as was suggested by earlier post. Not sure what else to do at this point.

First email let’s you know you are in the Q. You will receive a second email to pick a day and time, when you respond, a email with bar code that you need to take with you for vaccine

[noslices1]

So how do you sign up and get an appointment???

Look on the front page of the Daily Sun, on the bottom. Go to the website and put your info in and they will process and tell you they will send a code. Then go back on same website with the code and fill out the rest that they ask and then pick what day and time you want to go. easy peasy.

[xcaligirl]

Finally seems like something is organized and well run. I can't wait!

[eywvicki]

Thanks for the video!

[tom2bits]

Signed up Wednesday, got first injection Wednesday afternoon and had second scheduled for February. I also signed up 2 neighbors with no problem (just filled in all their info on my computer). The entire operation was amazingly well run and organized. It did not resemble any of the pictures I have been seeing from around the country. Counting the 15 minute observation period after the injection, we were in and out in less than a half hour.

I also signed up my spouse and myself on Wed and have yet to get a response other than a verification code. Nothing so far regarding the selection of a date. I can only assume that they ran out of doses for the time being. I figured that if I registered myself also, we would have two chances for her to get in the selection process. I'd gladly give her mine and wait for the VA to give me one when they receive their quota of vaccine doses.

I like your neighbor have a love hate with my computer. It loves to hate me.
Suggestion, we had a neighbor do it for us. I could say with us but that would be a lie.
They used our e-mail and we are registered. We do not yet have an appointment but did get a confirmation that we are registered.

We did not give our social security number either. Gossip is they will get it from you when you arrive.

[Colts Fan]

Once you input your code, how broad is the span of dates you have to chose from? A couple of days, a couple of weeks?

We have several upcoming medical appointments that would be a problem if the span is too short. Unless there are several dates to choose from we will need to wait to register. We don’t want to register and then not be able to go on the potential dates.

[Nevinmann]

I did that, but now I wanted to confirm the date, time and location. All I have is the 5 digit verification code

[OhioBuckeye]

Thank you for posting! We hope to be in that vaccination line real soon!!

I hope they don’t start asking for personal information to get a FREE Covid shot , & give some Song & Dance why they need it. Just don’t trust our new govt. But absolutely do what your conscience tells you to do!

[bowlingal]

I thought that was Wedgewood Dr

[gladesratt1]

Yes, I registered someone who does not have a computer. Just filled in their name, address, etc. and my email address for reply's. Used all 1's for social security number and marked no for insurance. They will send me the information, then I will go back in and get the appointment date and time.

I registered Mon. got code on Wed. and have appointments. I have been trying to sign up my 82 year old neighbor and get as far as enter birth date after getting code. I have received at least 20 codes and it will not let me get past enter birthdate.

[coffeebean]

It asks for your SS# and insurance info that is how they identify you. See no reason why if you enter her info it would be a problem. The confirmation email and appointment email comes to the address you put in when you register.

You do not need to enter SS# or insurance information. I entered all zeros for the SS# and entered "NO" in the information. My registration process went smoothly and I have already received my first shot.

[coffeebean]

I tried sumterfl.saferestart.net and got a code to enter. Only problem was the site didn't have a place to enter the code once I got it. Maybe they were full, but they should have a message to that effect.

I did not have this problem but I've read a few folks on this forum had the same problem you mentioned. I don't know what kind of device you have or the others have but they said to scroll the page from left to right so the white box was visible to enter the code. My laptop displayed the entire screen with no scrolling needed so I was able to see the box to enter the code.

Hope that helps your problem.

[PugMom]

they are doing shots @ the orlando health center, off rte 27 in Leesburg. i had a reg appt there this am., & saw they place was packed & set up for doses. i asked, some said they had an appt., some said they did not. the parking lot was mobbed with police directing people. idk who to call, maybe a direct number??

[coffeebean]

Have gone to the website. Clicked on need to get vaccine appointment. Received email with codes but site does not allow me to enter them. Any ideas?

Which website are you using? The site that is correct has two steps. Step 1 states, "I need to Register for a Covid-19 vaccination". Step 2 states, "I have a code for Covid-19 scheduling".

This is the correct website to register for a vaccine for the location on 466 behind Fresh Market......

Safe Restart (https://sumterfl.saferestart.net/)

This site is legit. No need to enter your SS# or insurance information. I did not give that information and I have had my first shot.

Good luck!

[Velvet]

You do not need to enter SS# or insurance information. I entered all zeros for the SS# and entered "NO" in the information. My registration process went smoothly and I have already received my first shot.

Is there a way to find this out? The Saferestart site is not helpful.

If you have a registration confirmation code, you should have seen a drop down with the windows of dates and times you would like to schedule your first shot. You need to click on Step 2 to set that up on the Saferestart site. From there you will be given a bar code in an email to complete the registration process. That is how it worked for me.

Hope that helps.

[PJOHNS2654]

I registered Mon. got code on Wed. and have appointments. I have been trying to sign up my 82 year old neighbor and get as far as enter birth date after getting code. I have received at least 20 codes and it will not let me get past enter birthdate.

After numerous attempt I enter 1938 instead of 38 for year of birth and it went right through. Duh!!!!!!:ohdear:

Hope this helps some other dumb ass.

I wish I could answer your question but I didn't even look that far. I got my email at 3:30pm on Jan. 13th, looked at the drop down with the dates and times, saw there was a window for THAT day at 4:00pm to 4:30pm and took that one. I did not look any further. Ran out of the house, hopped in the car and drove down to the vaccine location. I received my first shot. Quick and easy for me.

[coffeebean]

I did that, but now I wanted to confirm the date, time and location. All I have is the 5 digit verification code

My code to register for the vaccine in Step 2 was a combination of six letters and numbers.

I had a five digit code for Step 1 for the initial application.

[coffeebean]

I registered Mon. got code on Wed. and have appointments. I have been trying to sign up my 82 year old neighbor and get as far as enter birth date after getting code. I have received at least 20 codes and it will not let me get past enter birthdate.

You can contact the main website to tell them your difficulty with the Saferestart website. Someone got back to me quickly when I voiced a concern. Here is the page.......

I just now went in and secured an appointment. I chose Monday, 1/18. There were more dates available after that. All dates had many time choices, so you shouldn't have a problem finding one that works for your schedule.

I just now went in and secured an appointment. I chose Monday, 1/18. There were more dates available after that. All dates had many time choices, so you shouldn't have a problem finding one that works for your schedule.

When did you first register and when did you get your confirmation email to select date.
