Info on GMR Vaccinations
 
At this time, scheduling codes have been provided to all registrations completed from when the site opened for registrations at 8:00pm on Sunday January 10, 2021 and prior to 4:11pm on January 11, 2021. If your confirmation was completed after this time on the confirmation time stamp, additional scheduling opportunities will be made available as additional vaccine supply becomes available.

We are currently scheduling thru 5:09pm.

I received my second shot at the GMR-SafeRestart site on 466. We asked if they would be giving out any left over doses at the end of the day. The short answer was "NO, we NEVER have any doses left over."

My guess is there don't want a rush of people at the end of the day getting on line hoping there are left over vaccines.

My suggestion for any of these vaccination sites is to "advertise" extra doses at the end of the day by having someone stand by the main road with a HUGE sign stating there are extra doses and ANYONE is welcome to a shot as long as supplies last. Even if it is only one shot, why throw it away? I asked the vaccine site representative how long the Moderna vaccine is good for once it is thawed and was told "the vaccine is food for four hours".

Like these guys......

Still waiting for a rescheduled appointment. Received my original appointment on Jan. 13th for Jan 24th and second shot was for Feb 21st. I wonder if I got lost in the system. Not sure what to do. Keep waiting or sign up elsewhere. Anyone else in limbo like me?

Still waiting (on wait list with no appointment).
Continue to pursue alternatives.
Eventually the mad rush will subside and doses easier to get....:pray:

Your dates are the exact dates of our original appointments. We were contacted middle of last week (by email) to reschedule. If you can figure out how to contact them I would certainly do that.

This is the contact page I used and received a code to complete my registration process shortly after sending them a message....

Our friend was on the wait list starting Jan. 11th and received her scheduling code. I was on the wait list Jan. 13th at 1:30pm, but have not received a scheduling code.

Do you know how far down GMR is on their wait list? It would be nice if GMR would post where they are on the list.

We were on the wait list at GMR and no good idea when they would get to us.

Signed up at myvaccine a few weeks ago for Ocala, Sumter and Lake County and we got our first dose yesterday.

Curious when GMR will get to us but in the meantime our immunity is building daily.

There are two distinct GMR groups.
Those who have received their appointments and shots think it works great.

Then there are those of us who have been "on the list" and as directed by GMR "...rest assured you will be contacted in the order which was received..." We have been resting assured since 1/11/2021.....not knowing if we might be next or number 55,321 or not at all.

The wait list status sorely lacks communications which is really inexcusable.

Hence we wait (still rest assured? Not so much!)

Have my 88yo mom on the GMR waitlist since 1/12/21. When the site closed I emailed GMR to verify on the waitlist. Received email that she was on the waitlist, but at the time had no idea when the waitlist appointments would begin.

Since she is on the fence on the vaccine, and has basically not changed her everyday life, sees her grandchildren, and great grandchildren, shops, goes to restaurants that are open, she is good with waiting. As she said getting the vaccine isn’t going to change her life,

She does know a few who have not left their home since last March, think they need the most help.

I am eligible, as a healthcare worker, but declined the vaccine.

Call Lake County starting on Tues morning at 352-464-9065 for shots at the Sears Bldg at Lake Sq Mall in Leesburg on 441. They take calls starting on Tuesdays and book appointments for Wed, Thurs, Fri, Mon, Tues and then start calls again on Tues for the next week. Great organization and appointments are booked in 15 mins. increments. Long Disney-like lines but they move quickly but if you need a walker, borrow one. Make sure your form is filled out and signed b/4 going. You will get the form when you register online after your phone call.

We are in exactly the same situation as you. Registered on three sites and have heard nothing. Maybe by the time they get around to us herd immunity will have kicked in :)

Someone posted a notice from GMR on this forum but I can not remember which thread it was on. In a nutshell, GMR claims they have gone through and contacted their entire list of people who are on their waiting list. If I were you, I would contact GMR using this contact page......

Have you contacted GMR with the page I just linked in my previous post? They helped me get my code back in January when I contacted them and told them people who registered AFTER me were getting their codes and I had not heard anything. Within one hour of me sending them a message via that contact page, I had an appointment for that same day. Good luck!
