Groveland 2nd dose best time?
 

website suggests 2nd dose given in afternoon, no first dose in afternoon, but you can get 2nd dose in morning. Wondering when is best time, morning or afternoon.????

When I got my first dose, they gave me a date and time for my second dose. Didn't they do that for you?

My second appointment was for exactly four weeks to the day at the same time.

My Groveland date was 3 weeks later but no time.

Can you please give a link to the website that gave this 2nd shot information about the Groveland vaccination site?

I don’t see such information on the Lake County DOH site.

After our 1st shot at Groveland, we were given a date for our 2nd vaccination but we were told we’d be “contacted” to confirm a time and location for that date.
Our date is 3/3 and we haven’t been contacted as yet.

Did you get both vaccination shots at the Groveland site?

We had the first shot at Groveland. Very organized and less than 2 hours in line. Returned this morning at 9:00, between 8-12 as instructed yesterday by text (and as noted on the card previously), Guess what! Waiting line was at least 2 miles long and at the rear of line was a police car with large sign saying "closed for Covid shots". So we took an alternate route through the industrial park and naturally were stopped by a manned barricade and police. Politely informed that we weren't going to get the second shots anytime today and to come back tomorrow. She said the text yesterday is of no help today and we should "try again tomorrow". Very disappointed, but assume everyone had lined up very early and was just a lot more than anticipated. We will try again, but it seems like they could have advised us this morning via text to save all the frustration.

Groveland Lessons Learned
 

Your best bet is to get up early and be in line by 0530. It’s early but you will get in with the first wave. Its cooler so take a book, your iPad, the newspaper a box of donuts, or listen to your radio. Yes you will wait about 60-90 minutes but you’ll be done by 0730. A total of 2 hours. Or, go later, wait 2 hours in line along Hwy 27, in the sun and heat, then find out they ran out of vaccine or if your lucky enough to get in, add 2 more hours of wait time fighting the stop ang go traffic line. So 2 hours (yes it’s early) or 4 hours and maybe not even get the shot, today we were in line at 0540, inside staging at 0700, got shots at 0715; left at o0730 and home at 0815. Your peace of mind will thank you.

I got both shots of the Moderna vaccine in Publix in DeLand. I don't think that anyone is able to get the second dose somewhere other than where they got the first one.

I believe that a lot of people are confused about this. When you get your first dose, you will be given a date for the second does. It will be at the same place and should be on the same day of the week unless there is some kind of delay. Publix gives you the same exact day and time.

I understand that Groveland and some other sites give you the sate but not the time.

But the situation is not that you get your first dose then you go shopping around for an appointment for your second dose. It should all be set up at the same place.

Lake.floridahealth.gov. press release

Noticed, site doesn't open until 8am

Line was closed at 8:30 yesterday morning

They contact you 1-2 days before your second dose (voice recording on phone.) They want to be sure they have vaccine before you come so don't notify you too far in advance. Lines have been long at Groveland for second doses! Get there very early!

Amazon facility in Groveland is giving second doses today and tomorrow 8 a.m. - noon. We got here a few minutes past 7. Cars are already backed up on Independence drive to 27 and the Groveland Police have blocked the road. It is now 7:30 and we are beginning to move towards the facility. Don’t know if this helps; however, I thought this would give info to what is going on right now.

Correct. The publix card gives the 2nd date and time and you return to the same place. There was actually no onethere when my mom went and she was in and out in 20 minutes, including the wait time. Hopefully, her second shot will be just as easy

Whenever You Can!!
 

Feel fortunate that you got the first dose and are scheduled to get the second!
Get the damn shot whenever you can!

They started at 7 am both days we were there. They started an hour early both times.

Ours is the 2nd. No call. We never got a card stating we had the first. 3 of our
neighbors who also went to Groveland No card.! They went same day as us.

Same for me. I don't understand if they are making appointments at Groveland and other sites why there are lines. I think I saw two or three people getting shots while I was waiting for reactions. They are scheduled every fifteen minutes or so. This was the case with both my first and second shot. No lines.

No appointments necessary at Groveland only.

Has anyone been to Groveland in afternoon??

Truly u jest. Late evening is always the best time.

I received my 2nd vaccine at Groveland yesterday Groveland left me a message saying the hours were 8 am to noon. I was there at 7:40 am, no problem

I got there at 11:10 yesterday.. police car had sign saying no more vaccine.. I wanted to know when to come back but they let me in..told me they had extra vaccine and would be open until 4... very confusing..

I also got my second shot yesterday (2/24). I received an automated call on Monday and tried to go on Tuesday. Was there at 10:30 in a long line on Rt 27. Shortly after, the police advised that there will not be enough vaccine. Got there at 7:15 yesterday and was still in a long line on 27 about 1.5 miles from the site entrance. I received the shot at 9:40. Normally, Groveland is a second shot only site; first come first served. I was lucky to get my first shot there in early Feb when they had a real slow day (unusual). Also, I noticed some cars being told to leave because they did not have their first shot card with them in order to verify that they were receiving their 2nd dose. My suggestion would be to go early, plan on a long wait and avoid having too much coffee unless you wear your depends! :-)

Same here. We got ours at a Publix and there was only one couple in front of us. We were early and had a two hour difference in our time of appointments, but they put us together in the earlier time slot. We waited only for the couple in front of us and they offered us chairs to wait. We were treated exceptionally well, and were out of there after waiting the prescribed fifteen minutes. Our second appointment was for the same time, exactly one month later.

I went at 10:45 a.m. last week for my second dose and there was no one in line at all. My friends went the following day at 10:45 and again no one in line. Seems that later in the day is better when you avoid the morning Rush

Going to be as polite as possible...
 

My personal experience with this and watching others deal with inability to even get appointments is — you aren’t the center of the universe and get to dictate time, place and Phizer/Moderna preference as much as you might wish to. Be grateful that you have even snagged an appointment, patiently wait in line if necessary and thank your lucky stars. Some people are never happy.

Totally agree. There are a lot of younger than 65 that would gladly take any time that others do not feel is convenient.
Summer will be a time of returning to normal.

This thread is about getting a 2nd vaccination shot AT THE GROVELAND SITE.

Our first shot at Groveland was on Feb 5 2021 with the second shot schedule date of Feb 26 2021. At the time of the first shot was informed that we would receive a email and or a phone call to confirm second appointment. On Feb 22 2021 receive a voicemail from Lake county informing me that I was to report to Groveland on the 24th of Feb between 8 am to 12 pm and my wife received the same info. We arrived at 6:30 am inline that was 1 1/2 miles long, started moving at 7:15 am, after the shot was out of there by 8:30 am. The sign going into the facility noted second shot only and they require your shot card, if you lost it already they will issue a new card with all shot data. The new shot card holders will have the new card pinned to the outermost garment and a note, ha,ha .

No appointment at Groveland

Yesterday (2/24/21) morning at 8:10 AM I went by the line on Route 27 that was waiting for their Covid shot. I wasn't looking to get any shots. I was simply going elsewhere and passed by this location.

The line was at least 2 miles long on Route 27 at that time. I also remember seeing a sign on the rear of a vehicle at the end of the line about them being closed or something like that.

At first, I didn't know what the line was even about. I thought maybe there had been a wreck since I could see police cars with flashing blue lights. But, apparently, it was the line to get the Covid shots. Glad that I wasn't in that line. The line was backed up almost to Route 565.

I got there abouT 4:45 a.m. and read in the car until the first batch of cars was taken to the injection site. They started an hour earlier than stated, and I was on my way home at 7:10 am.

Thank you. My reply was to Girlcopper regarding her experience at Publix.

Went yesterday at 6:30 am. Was on our way home by 8:15 .

Hello -
New to the areas -
Where is Groveland ?
Is Groveland offering second Pfizer shot if the first vaccine shot was received at a different location ?
Are appointments necessary ?
What paperwork is required to receive the second shot ?
If patients just show-up, what time is suggested ?
Thanks
