Had my one and done J&J drive through Vaccine yesterday afternoon at the College. Incredible organization by the Guard and medical staff. At one time seven lanes of traffic and we thought we would never get through. We got there at 3pm and were driving back out at 4.05pm.

I would love to know how many people they got through yesterday, it must be in the hundreds. Excellent organization and loads of help available to those that need it.

Hi VTinker: What really blew us away was the number of people offering help. We were struggling to fill in the form, keep the car moving, and had nothing to rest the form on to write. This really great woman came up, no worries honey took my form, and then my husband wrote something on it and left, to help others. Making flight plans right now to visit new grands for Easter.

Where did you sign up for this?

I believe this is the website I used: Just a moment...
but I had been working with nine sites to try to get my husband a vaccine and when I got the call and appointment it happened very suddenly and I just jumped on it. If this site is correct, you will get a call and all they said to me is "have you had a vaccine yet" and that was all.

Florida Tinker may have more information. Good luck.

We got a phone call from the health department asking if we wanted J&J.

Let us know how you are feeling.

Received my J&J vaccine on Wednesday. Had severe chills twice and on and off headaches. Fatigue for 2+ days. As of today these issues have subsided. HOWEVER, the injection point is intolerably itchy and the RED area around the injection point has grown to be larger than a silver dollar and is a bit swollen. Reported this to CDC last night. Itchy enough that it wakes me up. Wife had NO reaction.

Fantastic set up. Other then a political photo opp delaying the lines by 30 min it was perfect. Seriously politicians need to stay out of the way of the vaccine sites.

I'm confused.
I had my 1st Moderna vaccination at the Sumter State College location which I thought was very well organized. Then I heard that they shut that site down and moved to the St. Vincent de Paul location.

I'm due for my 2nd dose on a Saturday, March 27,
a day which the St. Vincent de Paul site is not open.
I don't know if I go back to the Sumter site now that it's reopen on the Saturday of my initial appointment or go the new St. Vincent site and when since they close on Sat.
Anyone know if the State College site is giving ONLY the J+J vaccine, now?
Anyone else in the same predicament?
I have to arrange getting a ride so would be great to know exactly where and when, in advance.
GMR has, thus far, not been great in their communication and information skills.

I got the J&J vaccine there on Thursday. It was well organized. I didn’t get any side effects, not even sore arm.

[Debbraham]

Had ours too! They said Wed they did around 700 vaccines, Thur 1300, fri 600+. Friday they were even open for walk ins! We both waited about 30 minutes in the car line. I went at 9am and my husband went at 4pm. Give them a call...neither one of us had any bad reactions. No injection site pain, 99.2 fever second night, playing pickleball still! Glad it’s done. Call for appointment. I called at 6pm and got in at 9 am the next morning! 352-815-2216
