Vaccine location for Feb. 17th, 2021
 
At 11:23 p.m. on Feb. 16th, we received an email from GMR saying that the vaccinations for Feb. 17th will be given at Lake Sumter College in Sumterville. The address is 1405 County Rd.. 526A in Sumterville.

Were you originally scheduled to go to 3705 Wedgewood Drive?

dbcolli 02-17-2021 06:28 AM

I have the same situation and the original location was the Woodridge one
I was not even sure where Sumterville is but I found it is south of Coleman on 301.

dbcolli 02-17-2021 11:21 AM

I am just back from Sumterville I had a 9am appointment and arrived 25 Min early and I would guess less than 10 cars ahead of us. We were done in less than 10 Min. Had to drive thru a field but no problem. Than we were asked to wait 15 min.
GMR has it running very well.

Florida Fan 02-17-2021 04:49 PM

yes

pacjag 02-17-2021 08:47 PM

At least you got an email. After seeing conflicting info online and my reservation email saying I should go to the Woodridge location, I tried to confirm but came up empty. Luckily someone at the Wildwood Community Center did have the info and I was able to make my way to the college site and get my first vaccine. GMR should have posted some signage at the Woodridge location but there was nothing and, as I said before, I did not get an email telling me the location had moved.

Glad that you were notified in where to go. We are due to have our second Pfizer shot tomorrow in Groveland. The last we heard was that Groveland was closed due to lack of vaccines.
Has anyone heard anything?

Villages Kahuna 02-18-2021 08:15 AM

I’m going to’ take a pass’ on GMR. In addition to their locations bouncing around with little or no advance notice, they seem to have mis-managed the waiting list. My wife and I both registered online within the first 24 hours that GMR announced the vaccination site on Wedgwood Drive. Last week my wife received an email giving instructions on how to make a reservation. No mention that the vaccination site has now been moved about 20 miles south to Lake-Sumter State College. I have yet to hear from them. And there is no way to contact them.

I think not. Vaccines will be available in much increased quantities within a few weeks. We can wait. They’re probably coming to the CVS or Walgreens only a couple blocks from our home.

Which Vacine did you get at Lake College?

charlieo1126@gmail.com 02-18-2021 10:21 AM

I had my second shot at Gainesville VA yesterday Pfizer no side effects today or yesterday (I’m 82)

Gmr vaccination
 
My husband and I had our first GMR vaccination this morning at the Lake Sumter College site. Went smooth as silk. In and out within half hour, had breakfast at Mabels, which was very good.

When did you sign up with GMR? I Signed up January 13 and haven't heard from them.

tacostello 02-18-2021 12:12 PM

For those of you who just got shots, when did you sign up with GMR? I signed up January 13 and have heard nothing.

Snowdancer 02-18-2021 12:59 PM

Today is Thursday the 17th...I was given the Woodridge Dr address for 5pm....are they there or do I go to Sumterville

SiriRossman 02-18-2021 01:07 PM

Thanks for the info. The newspaper said everyone schedule had been notified. I have an appt today 2:30-3:00. I drove by Woodridge Drive and saw it was under water. Since I signed up with "SafeRestart" and the paper only mentioned GMR I wasn't sure it included SafeRestart. It's all a little confusing. I hope they notify me of the location for my 2nd shot if it changes.

msilagy 02-18-2021 02:25 PM

Go to Sumter Lake College in Sumterville. 17 mi from 466 and Buena Vista off 301S. Not a bad drive. They are currently giving shots to many that signed up Jan12. They will get to all as plan on 800-1400 shots daily depending on vaccine supply.

Darlene Lansing 02-18-2021 02:54 PM

Well this vaccine distribution SUCKS !
I will wait till Publix or the Indoor sites are approved .
I arrived at the scheduled time -11:30 on the 18th ! No one around , ‼️
I received an email at 12:08 same day ! After my scheduled time . To go to Sumter College in Summerville .
Rediculous ‼️

Mleechu333@gmail.com 02-18-2021 04:38 PM

Same here, we were due for #2 vaccine on 2/19 in Groveland, which is closed due to unavailability of vaccines. Read that Groveland expects next shipment early next week (week of 2/22). Will continue to check updated articles for reopening of Groveland site & leave home at 2:20 am to wait in line, as we did before. Haven’t heard from any other sites where I applied to reserve for the vaccine. Good luck!

Red Rose 02-18-2021 05:30 PM

How do I let them know I no longer need the vaccine because I went elsewhere to get it? I received an e-mail this morning with a code to make an appointment, but got the vaccine 2 weeks ago in Leesburg because we heard from them first. I guess if I don't schedule an appointment with my code that they'll get the message?

Thank you for wanting to cancel with GMR. By doing this, you will help people move up quicker on the list to schedule vaccinations. So much appreciated!

Another poster said how to do this......If you get a scheduling code but already got a shot elsewhere , please let GMR know so they can move the next person up. You can do it on the saferestart website, just use your code and follow the contact us directions.

I signed up the Jan 12th haven’t been email contacted, my wife signed it on Jan 11th and for notifications Tuesday got her shot today. So should get notified with few days?

NAB20 02-18-2021 09:50 PM

My husband and I signed up with GMR on Jan. 13. We received a code on February 16 and made appointments for the next afternoon. They sent us a bar code receipt with the times for both shots and the location as Woodbridge Dr. The paper on Jan 17 mentioned there had been a change in location for GMR so we checked our e-mail and found one for each of us changing the location to Sumter Community College (south on 301). We arrived, got our shots in a field behind the small campus. Everything went smoothly and they were well organized. They did say they weren't sure where the second shot would be administered, but that we would receive an e-mail. They were giving the Moderna vaccine. So relieve to have this process started.

GMR is now working on their Jan. 13th Wait List. I signed up Jan. 13 and was notified on Feb. 18 to sign-up for the shot. If you look at other threads, many other (Jan. 13th) people have been notified.

To be put on the Wait List, you should have received an email titled "Safe Restart Vaccine Requested". You would have received it immediately after you signed up with GMR. If you have the email, contact GMR and see what your status is.
