Getting appts.for vaccination
 
I was on the computer every morning, registering at ALL the sites, plus florida dept. of health, sumter dept of health, marion dept of health, publix-all.
I know you aren't supposed to, but I seriously felt we'd never get our shots-people who went online after me already had their 2nd shot.
We got our first 2 wks ago and our 2nd next week finally! Ended up going to Paddock Mall in Ocala.
I feel if you don't get on a lot, you will be ignored.
PS If you and your spouse enter right after eachother and they call for one of you-tell them your spouse registered at the same time. The girl found my name so I had the same appt with my husband. We were in at 5:45pm and out, including 15 min wait at 6:15pm Lines really short-maybe 4 ahead of you. Very organzied

The name of the street at the vaccination site is Woodridge. No B in it. Hope this helps.

Not sure how this works but I subscribed to the Sumter site and got tired of waiting. Got in line for the first come first served site in Lake County and got our first shot week ago Friday at the Amazon warehouse.
Now have a confirmed appointment for the Sumter program. Can I gift my 6 digit code to someone else?

Just got back from Orlando after getting second shot. I found a new email from Fl.gov. offering me my second dose of vaccine at Lake Square Mall for Wed., Thurs. or Fri.,

Could have saved a trip to Orlando, but happy to have it over with. I was in and out in less than 40 minutes at Convention Center.

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?

Also registered on January 15th and am feeling cautiously optimistic as a friend who registered on January 13th received his email two days ago. I think we’ll be notified within the next two weeks unless they run out of vaccine again❗️😤

It does not effect your first signup.

Please, if you no longer want to be on the GMR Wait List do the following. (I copied this good advice from a previous poster).....

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.

Absolutely do this, we did and received a thank you email that said they’d move on to the next name on their list.

I signed up with GMR Jan 12 in the afternoon and will be getting my first shot with GMR this afternoon. I understand they use the Moderna Vaccine.

Received notification from GMR with code for first shot today. Went to their site and sent a cancellation request. Next person in line can move up. We had our first shot on the 4th and get our second on Mar 4th. :thumbup:

Thank you for cancelling with GMR so the Wait List can keep moving along. So much appreciated!!

BTW...can you tell me when you were put on the Wait List? I want to keep track of what date GMR is working on. I am going to guess you signed up on Jan. 12th, but you would know better than me!

I was contacted by safe start today and my close friend was also , but she already got her first shot yesterday and I’m getting my second at Gainesville VA tomorrow so if you were on that sight hope is on the way . I don’t mind the trip to Gainesville I can get some great takeout food at Whole Foods I know many of you want a Costco but I’m a guy who has never turned a stove on since the Keurig coffee pots came out ( no boiling water anymore)so I would love a Whole Foods lots of choices for takeout

Could you tell us the date you were placed on the Wait List? This information will really help determine where GMR is on the list. Could it have been Jan. 12th or 13th? Thanks for any info you can provide!

In addition (huge request!), could you and your friend go to the GMR website to cancel your appointment request? This would remove your names quickly from the GMR list so others can be notified.

Enjoy your Whole Foods trip!
