Can a resident of Sumter County (1) register with Marion County and (2) qualify to get scheduled in Marion County? The answer to #1 appears to be yes, as i did access the request form and fill it out and received a response. Now, question 2: does that put me in the system as ELIGIBLE?

I don’t understand how this vaccine is being distributed. I was listening to an epidemiologist last week who to me made a lot of sense. He said the purpose of the vaccine is to stop people from dying and the way the government is going about the distribution is all wrong. He argued that by the end of January there should be fifty million doses available. That is enough to vaccinate all hospital and nursing home staff and patients as well as everyone in the country over sixty five. This would have the biggest impact in lowering the number of deaths from this virus and taking pressure off the hospitals. Once this is accomplished then you start vaccinating the rest of the population from oldest to youngest. This made a lot of sense to me. It seems to me that all the states are doing their own thing and there really is not one specific plan for distribution which makes no sense to me at all.

So let's say I go to Seminole Co. and get a shot. How about the 2nd follow-up dose? How stringent is the 3-weeks after time period and how would I be assured of getting that?

Please remember... vaccine shipments will not be released unless The Villages have the required deep freezers to store.

if the other counties throughout the state have gotten the freezers, why wouldn't we have them? Plus Moderna has been approved and they don't require a freezer.

Marion County process was easy, just just fill out the form online and submit, waiting for our call now to schedule an appointment.

According to the news report, you must be a Seminole County resident. There are 8 counties in Florida that were selected as a pilot program to get the vaccine. I don't think it has anything to do with a specific need.
