Yes, my husband used this site and now has an appt for vaccine #1 on Jan 24 and vaccine #2 on Feb 21. He registered on the site on Jan 11 and got notification of appt on Jan 13. (Would have preferred sooner but at least he’s scheduled for an appt.)

If your confirmation code has a zero or a letter "O" in it, look closely. It is most likely a zero.

Both my wife and I had to make that change to get the confirmation to work.

Yes - very simple to use. Enter information initially to register - they alert you that you'll receive an email to choose vaccine dates.

We completed step #1. About 3-4 days later, rcvd email with verification #. Back to the site, enter # and choose date - for 1st shot, then they assign time/date for second a month later.

Thank you again for completing the vaccine request.

The site is legitimate. We had the same concerns and even contacted the sheriff’s office, the county, and Global. The we filled out forms and searched id theft coverages ..just in case. Got email. Shots at 1:30 Yesterday. Location is near Fresh Market and extremely well run. Have auto and golf cart lanes, traffic assistance, tablet computers, and very good medical staff. We arrived, stayed in our car, rolled down the window, answered a few questions, relaxed the arm, poke, and then drove to the observation lot. In and out in less than an hour. We have a reservation for the second shot in 4 weeks.

This could have been announced a better way, but let’s give Sumter County and others credit for doing an amazing job. I believe DeSantis opened the site the morning of our shot.
The address is picky. It must be exact. Don’t forget https://

My husband and I signed up Monday and both of us now have our vaccines scheduled.

Applied on the site yesterday afternoon and last night my husband and I got two appointments for the shot and followup shot. Easy

Signed up for ours on the first night and my wife and I are getting our shots today.

Signed up Monday, was accepted and approved but have not yet received a date.

Yes, vaccination is Saturday. There were supposed to be 4000 vaccines using this site

That doesn't seem to track with other posters' experience.

I've tried twice now to "register," and within minutes each time received a verification code (5 digits) which apparently isn't the same as a personal vaccine code (6 digits--letters/numbers combined) which you need to complete the registration process. It's been 48 hours since I received the first verification code and nothing more. I have a friend who breezed through the process with no problems and has both her first and second vaccine appts scheduled. Go figure!! VERY frustrating. Many people are hailing this method and website as the latest and greatest, but so far no deal for me.

We put is all ones for the SS spaces and clicked no on the insurance question.

We did get a screen stating our information was accepted and approved with the date and time of confirmation.
The same page stated we would be called when the next available appointments were applied.

We also received a confirming email with the same information.

Has anybody used this site and actually got an appointment?

With such low numbers of dose availability I suspect the wait will be longer than we think!!

So now we wait.....

Yes, made an appointment on Monday, received appointment dates for both vaccines the very next day. Did not put in Social Security number. I did put in insurance information. Not Medicare number of course. ��

I have now heard from a friend who made the appointment yesterday, Tuesday, and their appointment is not until the 24th. Sounds like the distance between registering and actually getting your appointment is getting longer with people getting on the bandwagon.
