I have submitted each of our issues via the GMR web site "help" page.
I have also tried to go through the make appointment routine with no success as the site states invalid code (probably because we already have first shot and scheduled for 2nd one).

I am concerned about GMR slow to respond to current short term problems.

If I do not hear from them we will go to the new location on Friday (day before our appointment). We will either get our shot then or a new appointment...or somebody will advise us how to proceed.

I know we are in the small percentage that has had or is having a problem with GMR scheduling communications.

We had a very bad start when our first appointment was rained out at the original GMR site and transferred to the high school where we waited in a slow moving line for over 5 Hours!!!!

Unfortunately all I can say AGAIN is here we go again!!

Additional advice will be appreciated.
:pray:

Your story is just like ours! Rained out and waited hours in our car in February. Now we are scheduled for this Saturday, but discover they are closed on Saturday! We plan to show up on Friday and wait. Please let me know if that works for you.
GMR has been an example of flawed process with no way to contact them.

We are also scheduled for the 13th. We are waiting to hear something this week. Relax, you will hear from them. They are aware of the issue.

I had a similar issue. Go to where you had first shot. They will probably be there for your second shot. I got first at Wildwood and then location changed to Sumterville. I drove to Wildwood first and they were open for business.

I had a similar problem. I called Sumter Health and the woman was so nice. She even called me back. Could you possibly have been originally scheduled for Wildwood Community Center? That’s where I had to go. Good luck!

I received my 1st vaccination Feb. 27 at the Sumter State College location. It was very well organized, a drive thru and no waiting time.
Yesterday, I received an email from GMR saferestart to schedule appointment.
I thought it was to schedule my 2nd dose, went site and answered questions including that I had 1st dose but when I got to the date drop-down the latest date available was for 3/11 which is only 12 days after the 1st vaccination.
Must wait 28 days so that's not going to work.
Plus they'd changed location (again) to the St. Timothy Church in Wildwood.
Hopefully, I'll get another email to be able to get my 2nd dose. Fingers crossed!

The 1st email I received from them to set up my 1st appointment gave me an invalid code.
I did receive the correct one a few days later after I finally found where to send an inquiry about their mistake. Very frustrating, all in all.

Is the St. Timothy's location a drive thru?

I had a great experience with GMR but, seriously, this latest fiasco seems to be a cluster f%$k.

St. Timothy Church is in Lady Lake. Did you mean St. Vincent de Paul?

The GMR vaccination site is at St. Vincent de Paul NOT St. Timothy.

Ok, let's recap, based on our original poster's #1 comments and concerns.....

Starting today, GMR is at the St. Vincent de Paul Church in Wildwood. They will provide vaccinations from Monday through Friday, based on your assigned appointment date/time.

There are folks that were previously assigned SATURDAY appointments. Since GMR is no longer doing SATURDAY vaccinations, GMR needs to convey how they will accommodate these people.

If you are a SATURDAY person and you heard from GMR, please let us know how they rescheduled you. Thank you!

Perhaps, good news? Currently we have being delivered into arms Pfizer, and Moderna.
Shortly we will have the single dose one from Johnson and Johnson and another source Astrozenica. Financial news sources suggest by the end of this month we will be awash in vaccines.

We went the day before with no problem

GMR communication issues
 
Hello All. I received an email from Saferestart on Sunday, stating I was now eligible to obtain an appointment. The site directed gave me my code to enter. Sent me to a page to click either option 1 (register) or option 2 (make appointment). I selected the correct option of making appt., hit the continue button, and then was sent to a mostly blank blue page, where I had no option of entering my code.

That is where I am at with GMR. Has anyone else gone thru this? Are they going to contact me via phone or text, or email with additional info? I went to their FAQ and sent an email to their site without a response. Just wondering if anyone could clue me in, that has gone thru the process. This would be my first vaccination. Any info would be helpful and more than I currently have.

It is St. Vincent de PAaul. St. Timothy is in SS. My 2nd appt was listed on my confirmation for my 1st appt. It was right above the bar code.

When you get to the page to enter the code it appears blank. You have to move the page all the way to the left to get to the input box. If I remember correctly you may have to do that for the rest of each page.
