What was procedure for getting appointment? Did they give options/days? I have other commitments and don’t want to miss out.

If you are on the saferestart/GMR wait list you will get an email with a reservation code.
Then go back to saferestart website, click the second box "...to make an appointment...", then a few questions for clearing, then a list of avaialble dates and times, after choosing a date you will then be sent an email confirming your reservation for both the first and second shot dates.
There will be a bar code at the end of the email.

You are done until your appointment date and time. Take email with bar code and driver's license to sight stated in the email.

Then follow the tail lights to the actual injection spot.

That should make the people on the waiting list move up the list quicker.
Thanks for posting! Now we know that the Global Medical Response (GMR) Wait List is now contacting people who signed up on Jan. 12th. This is good to know!

Beware: if you use GPS, there are 2 streets in the area named Woodbridge. Trust me - it is not fun to be near Rohan instead of near 466.
That is because the street you talk of near 466 is not Woodbridge , but is Woodridge. No “b” in it. One is Bridge and one is Ridge. Too closely related for one area if you ask me. But no body asked me. Nobody ever asks me. 😢

Good for you! I registered on 1/13 and haven't heard anything. Maybe there is hope. I try at Publix every time they are making appointments and can never get in even with 2 phones, my laptop and mt Kindle.

Did you get notified by GMR? I thought everyone went to Buffalo Ridge.

I, too, registered in early January (can't remember the exact date), but have only received 2 emails since then saying I was still on the wait list. No code for an appointment as yet; however, Walmart is now giving the vaccine and I was able to schedule an appointment at the WM on 466 for this coming Tuesday for the first shot. We'll see how that goes. I was there last Wednesday to get some groceries and pick up another prescription, so I asked them about the vaccine and they told me they were going to start giving it and gave me written instructions to make the appointment. I tried several times on Wednesday to schedule an appointment but kept getting the message that the vaccine was "currently not available in your location," and to choose another location or try again later. On Thursday, I tried again and success!! The locations popped up, I chose one, and a list of appointment times available. I had to sign into my Walmart account to schedule, so if you don't have an account, you may have to create one, but it didn't ask for any "sensitive" info, just asked if I was a FL resident and over 65 and then asked for my DOB. Very easy!

Thumbs up Schedule

They provided a couple of days as options and also various times available. I chose 12 noon and showed up at 11:30 AM and went right thru and was out and done in about 30 minutes as there were few cars waiting. They were/are totally organzed

My husband and I registered on January 12. I got my scheduling code yesterday, but since we are not official residents of Florida (just renters) we signed up for and got our first shots in our home state last week after making a quick trip home. Thank goodness for cheap air fares.

I notified GMR via the website that I was cancelling so that opens up another slot. I did look to see how far out they were scheduling and it was from 2/16-2/20.

Good luck everyone. Scheduling is definitely a game, but as time goes on, there will be fewer players competing for those slots.
