That's an assumption I'm making as well. But it's not stated accurately.

Remember it is GMR!

Wife and I had vaccine this morning at St Vincent De Paul (GMR). One hour twenty minutes from the time we pulled in to when we left including the 15 minute wait after the shot. Very well organized on site. Not one hiccup. Put on Roy Orbison and The Royal Philharmonic sat back in the car and chilled. I did call it the world's slowest road course event. They keep you snaking around mostly in double lines. Everyone around us behaved not trying to cut each other off when merging was required. That happened when we got back onto 466A. We haven't been down to southern area for a while. Traffic horrendous today at noontime.

The paper said Saturday appointments will be honored on Friday. So , there will be double the people there on Friday. Late appointment times , could be in trouble.

Unless GMR took that into account and scheduled fewer appointments for Friday....:

Just like yesterday - when they not only took care of Tuesday's appts, but the full boat from Saturday because they closed Sumterville on Friday and moved them.

Make certain that you have enough fuel in your vehicle, drinks, diapers (if needed), nice relaxing music, and especially a LOT of patience. Esp if they have only TWO tents for the actual shots.

At one point yesterday (we were over an hour into crawling/idling/waiting by then...) a walking med person came to each car asking how many need shots. Looked as if he had a handheld counter, then I became very concerned they would run out...

GMR reached out to me...

NOT!

I'll be in that traffic jam tomorrow (Friday) along with all the other Saturday appointees.

A friend went to the GMR church site today since that was her scheduled date/time. Actually, she got there early and the place was not busy. She got out of there (with her shot and wait time) before her actual scheduled time. She talked to a GMR person at the church and they had extra staff already working. If you aren't doing anything, head over there now and see if maybe, just maybe, you can get in.

I am scheduled on Saturday. I went a 3:20 today and there was only one other car. They would NOT give me the shot. Said I was welcome to come back on Friday. I spoke to the supervisor and he held firm. Stupid but what are you gonna do?

Thanks for the update. Looks like they don't care to see you until your scheduled time. Well, bring all required documentation AND pack your patience tomorrow...

[npwalters]

My scheduled time is Saturday - when they are closed. They said come back Friday or Monday.

We received the letter at 1:30 AM this morning. At 3:30 AM we received our Saturday make up appointment for today at 4:00 PM.

Without knowing the above until later this morning we went at 9 AM as we were advised Saturday appointments were to be done Friday.

We were in line and on our way out at 9:40 AM....the line was maybe 50 cars...moved very expeditiously...everybody working smartly and courteously.

As I have said before GMR gets an A for operations performance.

As for communications,
the information in the letter above was known to GMR decision makers more than a week ago...

Waiting game is over and done...now to ease back to a more normal life style.

I've been observing your plight. I'm very happy for you for getting it done! You have been very helpful to others and I have no doubt you are appreciated.
