My wife and I had GMR appointments for January 20, and we know how that worked out.

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 waiting to be contacted to set up an appointment to get my first dose. It's frustrating but all we can do is wait. They can't give the shots if they don't have the vaccine to put in the needle.

Husband and I had GMR appointments for January 24 at the same time of day. He was contacted by email yesterday from GMR to reschedule but I didn't see the email until this morning. So now he is set to receive his first dose tomorrow. It was surprising to me that all time slots for tomorrow were available.

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.

So Carla when or what date did you first sign up for the vaccine. Just curious?

It was Jan 11th, the day after the site opened. However, there was a glitch or some problem that day with their system and we didn't hear back from GMR until the 13th or 14th and didn't get an appt. until the 24th.

I had an original Jan 19 appointment for first dose with GMR. That of course was cancelled. My wife's Appt was two days later. Hers cancelled also. I received an e-mail on 1/30/21 from the Sumter County dept of Health from a name I did not know. Fortunately I opened the e-mail which gave me a code to get an Appt with the Sumter County Dept of Health. I submitted the code at the web link provided. On 2/1/21 I received an Appt for 2/2/21 where I received my first dose by Sumter Co Dept of Health.

Wife had GMR Appt for a day or two after mine. She received an e-mail yesterday from GMR with a code to sign up for her first dose. She signed up and actually got her first dose given today.

We only received an e-mail in each case, no phone call nor text. For the original GMR appts that were cancelled, we had received initial notification via text.

I had an appointment on the 21st, was texted and emailed yesterday and sent a link to set up my new appt....going tomorrow...

We had GMR appointments for the 25th which were canceled. We received a text to signon to email on Wed the 3rd. We were able to make appointments and get the first shot yesterday.

My husband and I had appointments for the 19th and were cancelled. I was contacted Wednesday to set new appt and had my shot yesterday (Thursday). Husband has not been contacted yet. It was a couple days after I was contacted the first time for him to get his call so we're hoping today or tomorrow he will be contacted.

When I visited my doctor in Ocala and asked how vaccinations were going, he related a relative positive story of widespread vaccination sites and a well-organized program. When I related the unavailability of vaccine here in The Villages, he shook his head and said, “You people in Sumter County are getting screwed.”

Why?

I had an appointment on Jan 18, and of course it was canceled. I received a telephone call from the Sumter County Health Dept on Jan 25 and had my first vaccine on January 27.

I have a friend who originally had a Jan 20 appointment, and she was finally contacted and is getting her first vaccine today. I don’t know if it was a call, text or email. Mine was just a call to my cell.

We had appointments for the 18th. We got a call Wednesday and got our shots yesterday

Still trying to get an appt. Really frustrating. Maybe by the end of the year it will be easier to get the vaccine. Wasting so many hours staring at the computer.
