The Villages News should have checked before posting. The US govt does not require any of this info for a vaccine. Beware.
I totally agree with you! The shots are FREE so why would you give that information to them, that’s the kind of thing they need to get into your private info. Never heard anybody ever say they had give their private info to get something for FREE. Call your Congressman & have him check into it for you, that’s his job to help people
with issues like this.

I registered for my wife and I. I just put in 00-000-0000 for SS# and no insurance.
Site said we will be notified for our vaccination.

Just to clarify, the URL in the Daily Sun is incorrect.

This is the correct one:

Safe Restart

The Sumter County website now says it is legitimate.

Got this response from American Medical Response:

Hi Richard,

Yes, we are taking reservations for vaccines via our website, Safe Restart. Global Medical Response is the parent company of American Medical Response, the county’s emergency medical transportation provider. We partnered with the county in September for a range of COVID 19 services.

Thank You,

I don't trust anything about this botched effort now. I was tempted to do very unfriendly things to them. I have learned from the Sumter Sheriff that this is a good offer -- just very poorly rolled out and presented to us. It is worth the effort to register (just use 000-00-0000 for SSN and don't give insurance numbers yet). Don't know when the appointment will be offered yet - but there are up to 94,000 shots over the next 90 days supposedly; 4,000 this week and up to 90,000 over the next 90 days.

I just spoke to someone at the sheriffs office. She said it is not a scam. Whether or not you put your ssn in it’s not going anywhere.

All this chatter, back and forth, makes me wonder what is in that syringe?
Sorry.......

Where on the website does it say that? I'm looking at sumter.floridahealth.gov and I don't see anything about this. I assume I'm not looking at the correct page but I sure can't find it.

Can you paste the link to the page where you see it?

I went online, requested a code, got it, then did not have anyway to register the code to authenticate.
Not good..

You will get an additional code via email or text then you can schedule. It may take several hours. I registered last night and got the second code this morning.
