We went to myvaccine site run by the state and signed up for Ocala, Sumter and Lake counties. Figured we would take the first one offered.

Also we had registered with GMR a month ago and no idea if that is separate list for Sumter or not.

Was picked up last week by Lake and had our vaccine there. When we get contacted by the other two we will just tell them no thank you.

Received Appointment
 
My wife and I registered at 8:01 January 11th. We received our codes yesterday and we are getting our 1st shot today. The 2nd shot is scheduled for 3/13.

Just got emails for wife and I (separate) from GMR.....dates and bar codes for tomorrow afternoon in hand.

The dates offered were 2/13, 2/16, 2/17 and 2/18.

We originally registered 1/11/2021 at 7:30 PM.

:a040::clap2:

I'm very happy for you. Did you just wait it out with GMR or did you CONTACT them using the contact page I have been posting or use the instructions that were in the previous post?

Thank you for the update! Looks like GMR is working through their Jan. 11th list. From what you posted, once you get your code, you can get your 1st dose quickly. Nice to know this!

All of us who are on the Wait List like to see this feedback!

For others.........please post (1) when you signed up for the Wait List and (2) when you were notified to schedule your appointment.

Now, we can track the progress of GMR working through their Wait List!!

I am Jan. 13th at 1:30, so I'll be patient. That's ok.

This is VERY helpful for those of us in queue waiting patiently to be contacted by GMR. The short turns between the GMR contact and available slots seem to indicate (possibly) that a significant # of those being contacted are not booking a slot, maybe because they already went elsewhere. Anyway--keep it up, it helps, a lot!

I did as you suggested and just waited it out. Based on all the posts since receiving our code, and based on the date we signed up (1/11/21) it seems GMR is working through their list as they have stated they would do.


And then seeing how quickly they responded to the rain out and relocation and the communications in that period, we were impressed with their response.

My friends were contacted today. Registered, but did not get an appointment originally, just put on the waiting list. They didn’t use the appointment code as they already got their first shots elsewhere.

There is a spot on the GMR site where you can cancel. I cancelled when I got my code yesterday and later got a thank you from them.

We did the same, also received a thank you that said they would use the spot for the next person on the list.

Blackie and raynan.......thank you for taking a moment to cancel with GMR since you no longer needed a vaccination appointment. I also had a neighbor go online so they could be removed from the list also.

Hopefully, others will follow through to have their names removed!

I believe GMR is still working on their Jan. 12th Wait List.

I did contact GMR inquiring about status and I received what seemed to be a boilerplate response.

I would have preferred something tantamount to, "You are hopelessly buried somewhere in our vast queue so we recommend that you give up on GMR and go elsewhere. And if you do, be kind and rewind."

Unfortunately, now I can't. My bad I guess. But beware as I'm now one of the unvaccinated.

I sense your frustration and you penned it well! We seem to be clueless in the queue.

Based on my recent posts as well as many others, it is becoming obvious GMR is moving down the wait list.

I went through the same frustrations to satisfy our need to know to feel like we are in fact part of an active process....in the order in which received.

As many consoled me.....be patient....I know easier said than done.

On the list 1/11/2021.
Code and reservation info received 2/12/21.
First shot received 2/13/21.
Second shot reservation 3/13/2021.

They do in fact communicate better after the appointment notification.
