We registered with GMR, Marion County in Dec, and waited hours at Publix site. No one called yet! But we drove to Groveland without appointments and got our shots! Very organized, efficient, and friendly people! Thank you to these people!

GMR contacted me too. However, once they dropped out of the picture, I was able to sign up with Publix. Have already had my first shot and will get the second in a couple of weeks. Wonder how many others decided to look elsewhere.

I also received a offer today from them for the shot. Fortunately I already got the first one at a facility that is 1 1/2 hours away. Do you think I could sign up for the just the second shot here so I would not have to drive so far for the second shot? Thanks

Default GMR Experience

I also was contacted by GMR. I found the team to be exceptional. I had a bad experience but not due to GMR. Some Villagers are just rude and mean. GMR moved the site due to rain. I was in my golf cart and the site was not in the field it was at the high school. So I couldn't just cross 466 to get to the high school I had to travel around using the paths. When I got to the high school the staff, sheriff's police and village security were very nice and directed me to the line for golf carts. Cars and golf carts had different entry points because cars came across 466 at a light and golf carts came down Belvidere. Went through got my shot and was in the waiting area to make sure there was no reaction. I was parked in the last space next to a cement embankment. A man in a white SUV pulled up really close next to me, rolled down his window, took off his mask and started yelling curse words about how he saw me sneak in the line. Which was crazy. The person from GMR told me to move up. There were two lines one for cars and one for golf carts. And they directed me to go when they merged the two lines together. I tried to explain to him that I did not cut in line but I was wearing a mask and he couldn't hear. Finally he drove off but it was not a pleasant experience. This man was so furious, he was screaming and yelling. Just a head's up if you take a golf cart. The line when I went was shorter for golf carts but we were at the high school due to the field being too wet. And those of you in cars, please understand the site is very organized and no one is cutting you off. The GMR personnel tell us when to move up and when to stop. No one is sneaking in. There is tape and barricades with sheriff's police and Villages safety so no one is sneaking in by driving a golf cart.

Today I received two emails and two different appointment codes from GMR . Tomorrow I am going to Orlando for my second shot. I am sure there are others in the same boat, so the list should continue to dwindle.

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.

Curious as to how many folks may have registered before me but have already obtained the vaccine elsewhere.

Also curious as to what happens in that regard? Is that accounted for somehow?
I registered 1/13 and nothing yet.

I am also 1/13. Today, GMR started contacting the 1/12 people. I think our turn will be later this coming week. It all depends how many people are on the 1/12 Wait List.

I just wish GMR would post where they are on their Wait List. I cannot find any online communication from them.

In response to the address - the emails all say Woodbridge however the entrance UNLESS THEY CHANGE IT BECAUSE OF MUDDY CONDITIONS is actually right behind Fresh Market on Wedgewood.
