Went to Groveland Amazon Distr. Center.
Left early, 6:30, got there at 7am, opens at 8, (directions, go 20.4 miles from 466 and 441 intersection, south on 27, turn right on Independence Blvd. and after 1,1 mile , turn right on Republic). After talking to police, not necessary to go early, they never run out of vaccine, traffic lightens up after 11am. Must be 65, no appointments. After reaching Amazon, traffic splits into 5 lanes, than 4 lanes, park, receive vaccine, wait 15 minutes, head for home. Last edited by jebartle; 02-08-2021 at 12:19 PM. |

Florida Health Lake issued the following tweet just a few minutes before the original post in this thread:
"Florida Health Lake @FLHealthLake Due to longer lines we will only be accepting 2nd doses at the @FLHealthLake #COVID19 Groveland Amazon site. Eligible residents interested in 1st doses can preregister at Just a moment... to be contacted when an appointment becomes available." |

Piece of cake getting there and the directions given already are on the money. There is a signboard on the center island about a quarter of a mile in that tells you that they are only serving up 2nd round shots at the present time.
Whatareyougonnado? This is the world we live in. It was a nice ride going down there although we came back with a big fat ZERO for our effort. Our turn will come, we just have to be patient. I love the way some people constructively post things about the Vaccine that is helpful to others and detest the people who are in your face that I got mine and you got NOTHING! Disgraceful in my opinion. |

I got my first shot there yesterday. The easiest way to get there, by far, is the turnpike. Exit on the Tavares exit and go about 3 miles.
Huge backup at 7:30a. Went back at 1:30p and went right to Amazon lost and got in the queue. |

I've seen the notation about 2nd doses. The wife and I also went do US27 to the Amazon site Groveland. We were pleased to know that they asked us which dose we were there for, for us it was the 1st vaccination, they vaccinated us and a 15 minute wait and we were rolling home. We took a couple of coolers with us, we had sandwiches, water, etc. We were immediately given a card with the date we are to come back for the 2nd. The whole experience was run smoothly and many might like to know that they also had several portable toilets available.

There is a tweet now that says that due to lack of 1st doses only 2nd doses will be given starting 2/09/21 (today) till further notice.
I would encourage anyone who needs a 1st dose to keep checking the lake county doh website. They tweet--sometimes several times per day-- concerning their status. If you are not on twitter then just Google them and click on the twitter symbol on top to get the latest. They seem to have a huge supply and sometimes tweet mid-day that "lines are short now so we are opening to 1st doses". From Mulberry Grove Area it took me 1 hour and 20 minutes to get there. I heartily agree that Lake County DOH has been doing a wonderful job. The current site is very efficient. I got both doses there. The no appointment system was chaotic when I got my first dose (1/09) but wow really smooth for my second dose. Don't give up on 1st doses at this first come first served site-- just keep checking and be ready to go. I figured-- hey what else am I doing ![]() |

[We received our Covid shot yesterday (Monday) at Groveland . We were told they are open Mon-Fri with 1st doses in the morning. Experienced long lines but well managed by Lake County Health.

In line now. I think it’s 2nd dose only. We’ll see. I’ll be getting my 1st shot in a few minutes. Very efficient process.
