Same here, signed up 1/13 and got a text 2/18 giving me a number to identify me to set up an appointment. I got one 2/23 11:30 am They have upped the available doses by 4000 so it should move a lot faster now.

Ha! I have the same date/time as you for vaccination....2/23 at 11:30! Did the drive today to see where the college was. Drive south on 301. Once you get into Sumterville, you will eventually see the large college entrance sign and that is where you turn left. Take that road a bit further and make another left into the college.

The college may not be the permanent location, from what I have read. Possibly our 3/23 11:30am second appointment maybe relocated. We have a month to find out! I am glad you mentioned the additional 4000 doses! Great news for all!

I signed up around 5 am on January 15th.

Like many of you I received the GMR notice recently that my registration is import to them and that someone will be with me shortly... Ok, I paraphrased here.

As of this Wednesday I can't get the damn thing anyway due to pending surgery. No, it's not elective. And how long afterwards I'm not sure yet.

So GMR, I got like four more days before I start wearing a "Beware! I'm Not Vaccinated!" T- shirt.

Ok, I won't but it's all so nuts isn't it?

Global Medical disappointment RESOLVED !
 
My wife, and I were turned away from the Saturday January 16
appointment to receive the Covid vaccine at the Global Medical Response
site in The Villages. That event was deeply disturbing. We felt betrayed
by governmental mismanagement. The Covid-19 nightmare was to continue for
us. As senior citizens, it felt as if the Covid-19 target on our backs had
become far larger and far more vivid. The tsunami of despair loomed ever
larger.

Then, out of the blue, a phone call from a cheerful
individual reported that she was with the department of Health and wanted
to schedule an appointment for the first dose of the vaccine the very next
day. Skepticism wrestled intensely with the hopeful promise of a possible
ending of our Covid nightmare. Worry that a second debacle was on the
horizon grew.

We arrived at the Wildwood Community Center and were greeted by warm
welcomes. Received our injections and were supervised for potential
adverse reactions. Reactions? Yes, joyfully stellar reactions!

We were eager to appear February 19 for the second dose and are profoundly grateful for the efforts of the entire team that worked to resolve the initial failure
that the Global Medical Response organization presented.

Does anyone find it 'curious' (I chose that word carefully) that your healthcare provider cannot provide healthcare to you in the form of the covid vaccine?

Yet, all of the employees, staff etc are vaccinated. Yes, I know they are health care providers... who provide my health care... with noted exceptions.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Any responses from those who have received their shots would be helpful.

Thanks. Tom C

We also signed up on Jan.13, got an email on Jan. 18 to schedule vax, went to Lake Sumter College in Sumterville on Sat. Jan. 20. Was well run at the site but they never informed us that they weren’t at Woodridge Dr. as was stated in the email, except for reading in the Daily Sun the change of venue, we might have missed our appt. They couldn’t tell us where our second vax would take place but have an appt. for Mar. 20.

Signed up mid January. Got a call a week ago with 3 options on time of day. I said anytime. By the time she fiddle/farted with the questions the times went away. She said she was sorry but the times got used by another agent. Have not heard back yet!

ladygolfer123 02-24-2021 08:22 PM

Both my wife and I signed up on 1/14 shortly after 2pm. We received messages since that we are indeed in queue, and appointments are being processed on a first come/first served basis! Well this seems not to be the case GMR!!!

The staff was not vaccinated in their office. So not sure why you are confused or as you say curious. Doses were sent to hospitals who had the freezer available for storage. Is that what your are curious about? You thought your doctor had a freezer in the back room to keep doses?

Mrprez 02-25-2021 08:54 PM

I went back to double check my email and I did sign up on the 15th at 6:05 am.
