Make sure you contact them to cancel, if not that is a “lost” appt that someone else could have. The vaccine will go to someone else but not appt IF you don’t contact them.

There will be no "lost" appointment. I don't have an appt. with them, only the ability to make one.

I just received my invitation to reschedule a few minutes ago. However, in the meantime I got the Pfizer vaccine in Leesburg so have no need of the GMR appointment. I'm sure there are many others like me and it shouldn't be long before everyone is contacted.

We relied only on email, so no text or call.

We were scheduled for January 22 (GMR). As of this writing, no email, no text, no call. Wondering how many others are in this predicament. The good news is that we were able to get the vaccine in Leesburg this morning. Hope no one else is waiting for their GMR appointment prior to our previously scheduled date.

Mine was for the 20th and my husband's for the 25th from GMR. I got a text that said check your email and here's your code number. Clicked on the given website ,click on #2and got our time and date for today. Got our first dose and date and time for the second dose. I would think you'd have gotten yours too so it must be coming.

My wife and I both had appointments with GMR for our Covid vaccination on Tuesday when they were forced to put the program on hold since they didn't get their expected vaccine delivery.. We did no follow up with GMR, but looked for alternatives and found no viable options locally. We hoped the messages we were getting that GMR or the Sumter Co Health Department would contact us as soon as they had the vaccine.

Sure enough we were contacted this Wednesday afternoon by text and email telling we could get an appointment. We jumped on it immediately. We both got appointments for Thursday, yesterday.

We got our shots. It was a very professional operation in the field on Wedgewood Lane. It went very smoothly with NO waiting, other than the mandatory 15 minutes after you get the shot. Other than a slightly sore injection site there were no side affects. We have our appointments 4 weeks later for our second dose. Life is good!

A friend who had an appointment a day or so after our original date got contacted today and has an appointment tomorrow.

THE SYSTEM IS WORKING! Now all we have to hope is that the Feds can deliver the vaccine to Florida as promised.

So who had appointments on that day, or the day before and after, and have you been texted and/or called about a new appointment? And did you get both a text and a phone call?

My hope is they contact us soon.....thanks!!!

I am the OP. As a follow-up, my wife and I received texts and emails on Thursday. We got our vaccinations on Friday, with second vaccinations scheduled for March 5. Be patient, you will be contacted.

You may be next or you may be number 29,349 (sometime the next month-ish)!!

A GMR staff member said their priority is those who had scheduled appointments, and 2nd doses. They are sending out text and email, but many response codes are not being used. After x amount of time, (didn’t say amount) and resending code, (didn’t state how many times) before they could move on. Original appointment for 1/24

Third site I have attended. First two, signage in place in multiple areas, directed to next opening, Computer used for info, card filled out, asked to verify name correct on card, injection , then sent to a 15 minute waiting area. All cars lined next to each other, with their time on windshield. 5 staff each walking in front of their allotted cars. Then at your given time, staff came to your car, asked questions for any issues, (did think looked a little flushed),gave instructions in case there was a problem later. Removed the time card, and sent you on your way.

GMR map showed lot behind Marshals, ( if you are new to the area, it’s behind Fresh Market) no signs, other than a sheriff sitting in car with lights on.
First person verified your email, second person sent you to one of the 2 tents. ID asked for, by 2 people, card given to person( both names spelled wrong, but they were ok with it. Third person took your time card told you when to leave, honk horn if there was a problem, I am guessing whoever honked with 19 cars bumper to bumper, it could be a challenge. . Then sent to 5 lines of cars. No staff at this point, you left when you choose to. Just a little different experience than other 2 sites.
