Vaccine site on CR466 has been dismantled
 

My sister had an appointment this morning for her first vaccine shot. Just to see what was going on, she drove past the drive up site. The tents are gone!

What a goat rope????:faint:

They go up and down fairly easily/quickly.
Remaining positive (!!!!)
....they rent them and no sense paying for not using?!
....they need them for a location that knows how to schedule?!

Like they said in their web site the operation would be for the foreseeable future.....who would have thought it would be so short!!!!

Credibility? Ground zero.....and holding.

It will be a challenge to believe anything they say next?

They are tents. Easy up. Easy down. Folding chairs and tables. Ditto. They will return when the next batch of Covid vaccine gets here. The field is still owned by the Morses and all processes are poised to begin again.

Deep breaths.

Thank you Gracie. I'm breathing!

Wait Gracie. HOW DARE YOU! Make comments as you just did?

Factual, sensible, intellectual, without malice, without namecalling, hopeful, upbeat, calming, and confident.

This forum is NO PLACE for such commentary!

Shame on you.

Received today in my District email account ->

important: Update about the Vaccine Supply


Due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding the national vaccine supply, we are temporarily suspending the operation of the mass vaccination site in Sumter County. Here’s what you need to know:



If you received an appointment for your second dose, your appointment will remain as scheduled until further notice. If we do not receive the necessary doses, we will reschedule your second vaccination appointment.
All 7,500 scheduled appointments for first doses, including those who received scheduling codes but have not yet scheduled, have been placed on hold until we receive adequate supply of the vaccine.
If you have registered but have not yet received a scheduling code, you will remain waitlisted in the order received. Rest assured, you will not lose your place on our registry.
We will continue to process registrations for vaccines and place individuals on the waitlist to adequately assess demand and report those totals to the Florida Department of Health.


Health Officials and team members are committed to the Sumter County community's needs and are working very closely with the State of Florida Department of Emergency Management and Florida Department of Health. We are prepared to resume vaccinations as soon as we receive notice that vaccine doses are available.

It was posted in the Daily Sun and online in the Villages News and on the district website that they were closing this vaccination center. Keep up to date on happenings in the Villages with these resources

It is refreshing to read posts from someone with a positive attitude. My second shot is scheduled for February 10th and I believe the tents will be back up well before then.

I read that the site is dismantled but everything is being stored in a Pod which, they said is close...on site?

Where did you read this?

Covid tents
 

When I drove past yesterday, there was still one tent there and a few porta pottys, so maybe they will be back.

Are they attempting to KILL us off per O.W.?

There are vaccine shortages everywhere and the gov has nothing to do with it.

There's an article in The *************.com today about GBR dismantling their site and skipping town with the remaining vaccine doses and "sensitive" patient/medical information. This is really concerning if it's true. When I registered with them for a vaccine, their system didn't ask for my SSN, but did ask for DOB, Medicare #, address, email, phone #, so they do have some info on me. I waited to register until after several sources insisted that this company was legit, including the Sumter Co Sheriff's office. Hopefully, this isn't another scam.

That conclusion is based on what?

(I do not know if the statement is true or not.....but there must be a basis for the statement.....right?).

The source quoted warrants a credibility check!

This is no ones fault but the suppliers of the vaccine. My family comes from NH and Maine. They are having the same problems there. Not enough vaccine. Do you really think the States or anyone else right now are happy with the amount they are receiving. I doubt it. So stop blaming people who have no control over the supply they are receiving. I am sure they would love to have enough to vaccinate everyone tomorrow.

Dismantled? You've been reading the reports on that other web site and letting them get to you. When they announced the suspension of vaccinations because of a shortage, they indicated that they were moving everything into storage pods.

No sense hiring security guards to monitor that large space 24/7 when you can easily take it down, store it and then put it back up when ready to go again. After all, I seem to remember this all went up very, very quickly.

To quote one of my favorite readers here "breathe".

That's being quite optimistic.

[/QUOTE]When they announced the suspension of vaccinations because of a shortage, they indicated that they were moving everything into storage pods.[/QUOTE]


Really? Don't remember that one.

If so why can noone let us know when vaccinations will restart or at least some idea what is going on?

It's probably why this is so screwed up.

I'll second that. I just checked all the announcements I could find but didn't see anything about pods.

May have been lucky
 

We just may have been lucky. How many have read of the serious reactions to the Moderna
Vaccine in California and that they suspended it until they establish the cause and effect? With this in mind and the fact that CMR would not state the reason for suspending the Villages vaccine I feel we may have been lucky in not getting it yet? We can't trust the Government to give us the facts since they have historically been misleading. Staying home and wearing masks now sounds great!!! Please don't tell me it was a "unique batch problem in California" as who knows the truth. We were told there was enough vaccine to take care
of the ones who were scheduled and then all of a sudden it all disappeared? If you believe
the crap the government is feeding us then I have a great bridge for sale in Brooklyn cheap.:popcorn:

I really do hate to be a Debbie Downer, but has anyone been able to find out where else Global Medical Response is giving vaccines? On their website, the only one they speak about is the one in Sumter. I don't see any other vaccine centers listed, or any "news" about any other site. How many people did they "vaccinate" here, and can we be sure that these people actually got a real dose of real vaccine? This whole situation from having to give Social Security Numbers to them packing up after a few days seems very sketchy to me. Again, sorry for being an alarmist, and I hope I'm wrong.

Limited to one Moderna batch pulled globally in an abundance of caution after 10 allergic reactions at one site. Root cause in investigation.

California urges providers to halt use of batch of Moderna vaccines

How can you disseminate information you don't have? Or know? That's just common sense. What is the problem with people who say they are desperate. Desperate for what? Why did everyone think 2021 was going to be a whole new world. What would change for folk if they had received both shots Right Now? Nothing really. Still would be wearing masks. Still would be social distancing. Still would be avoiding large gatherings indoors. As long as there are people who haven't been vacinated Nothing changes. My husband and I are in the group of 7,500 people who are waiting for their first appointment. So what. We will continue to be super cautious as Covid would probably be a death sentence for him if he caught it. Just be grateful you don't have Covid and we all can see a dim light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. :a040:

I find it hard to believe that nobody in govt has any idea when there will be more doses available. And why would you not want to know what is going on?

My thoughts exactly.

Re read my note
 

Please reread my note. Don't tell me it is just one batch. Why did Calif. take that vaccine off
the treatments schedule(s) not just that batch until they establish why the reactions? Why is CMR not giving out the reason(s) for disappearing? Good luck believing some Government reason for running away from the Villages if they give a reason? :a040:

Because until the suppliers of the vaccine can give them definite answers, anything they say would be just speculation. If they tell you something and it does not happen then your all over them for being wrong. It’s a no win situation.

Assuming the holdup is the supplier one would think that Pfizer for example has a production schedule and they know the orders they have to fill.

Than they just tell the customer the facts.

Should not be that hard.

Folks let's all step back and take a breath here. We have come this far and we are still here. Take it a day at a time. We will have to wait our turn. I think for me it will be some time around June.

Recheck you're source/comprehension, just one lot was pulled due to 10 adverse reaction at one site. This could be a reformulation problem at the site...

California Urges Stop to 300K Vaccines after Some Fall Ill

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California’s state epidemiologist is urging a halt to more than 300,000 coronavirus vaccinations using a Moderna vaccine version because some people received medical treatment for possible severe allergic reactions.

Dr. Erica S. Pan on Sunday recommended providers stop using lot 41L20A of the Moderna vaccine pending completion of an investigation by state officials, Moderna, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the federal Food and Drug Administration.

“Out of an extreme abundance of caution and also recognizing the extremely limited supply of vaccine, we are recommending that providers use other available vaccine inventory,” Pan said in a statement.

She said more than 330,000 doses from the lot arrived in California between Jan. 5 and Jan. 12 and were distributed to 287 providers.

Fewer than 10 people, who all received the vaccine at the same community site, needed attention over a 24-hour period, Pan said. No other similar clusters were found.

I agree, but it does no appear to be that way.

Probably because if they gave an estimated time and date for a "restart" and were late making it happen, there would be a bunch of folks like those on here, yelling, screaming and crying that they lied about it.

The problem is we were told by the Governor it was our turn. They set up and start giving the Vaccine and then close up shop. Many of us would like to be told what is really happening.

Thanks for the nice explanation
 

but your a spoiler , I mean why let the truth get in the way of another conspiracy on this site
