Stop all the misinformation. This site is legit although really suspicious looking. Yesterday we logged in and made an appointment. Today at 7 AM set up two computers and entered the codes we received from email last night.
Have two appointments (me and partner) for the same 1/2 hour time frame at 3705 Woodbridge Drive, The Villages, FL 32162.
I did enter the SSN under duress and NO insurance (we are on Medicare but that shouldn’t even be a concern because the government is paying. Apparently, even though it says you can’t enter all zeros, some have said you can. So do it.
On the reply email confirming the appointment, we each received a date next week and a date in February.
Let me also tell you that I was driving myself crazy thinking I might have been had and went to all the credit companies, Experian, Transunion, and Equifax, and made sure my credit was frozen. Everyone should do this now, so someone can’t open something significant in your names. We did us both.
IF EVERYONE would wear a mask, this crap would be gone in two months. Don’t wear a mask and you and anyone around you will or may not deserves what you get.

I went to that site through the sheriff's department website (sumtercountysheriff.org). How can they send you there and also say it is a scam?

Not good..

The entry field is at the extreme right of the page.
Drag the horizontal scroll bar (thumb) to the extreme right of your page.

We signed up for that on Sunday night, I was really skeptical but we got our notification for an appt. on Monday. Checked out that company they are big provider in Leesburg that has teamed up with the gov't to administer the vaccine. We have appt. on Wed. also.

I spoke personally with Sumter County Health Dept. They said it was a legitimate site. I understand the reluctance to give out that information. It's your choice. From my perspective, I've locked down my credit and you can change your Medicare card number if you feel it was compromised.

I got a phone call the other day asking me to register for covid19 injection, & my wanted info. 1st of all, Nobody is going to run after you to get vaccinated. Told them nobody lives here with that name. Tried begging me to register anyway. SCAM SCAM SCAM! NEVER GIVE YOUR INFO OUT- If you didn't initiate the call, IT'S A SCAM!!!!

The Villages News should have checked before posting. The US govt does not require any of this info for a vaccine. Beware.

Yesterday I received an email from the Villages Health care about registration for the COVID 19 vaccine and was directed to the same website mentioned here. I would say it is definitely legitimate, but I’m still reluctant to give out my SS#.

Saw cars lined up today for vaccine at the field at Buffalo Ridge. They said they had all signups for all the doses available. Did they sign up on the site that everyone thinks is a scam. It looks like Sumter has contracted with them for vaccinations for the Villages - 90,000 in 90 days!!!! If this is where we go, the site is what they say we have to use.

Any suggestions and comments on what to do!!

Very well organized, staffed, and operated by the GMR (Global Medical Solutions) contractor which is also the parent company for our local ambulance company. There should be a DeSantis press conference today (1/12) on Channel 6; I saw the news crew there when I was in line. My guess is the contract for the event was negotiated by the state and local county government with support and cooperation of the Developer and districtgov (Community Watch assisting with traffic control along with law enforcement). GMR rep told me the only communications were supposed to go through the Daily Sun.

Turn your scanner on and scan your insurance card. Then keep your insurance card out and go to this website and click on step 1, it will ask how do you want to receive your authentication, via text or email. I chose email and received a code right away.

Enter the code and follow directions, took just a couple of minutes. When I was finished I got a follow up email telling me I'm on the waiting and will be notified by email when appointment is available. I did this twice, once for my wife and once for me. Very simple.

Safe Restart

Good for your wife! Al they’re trying to do is, it makes it easier for the govt. to keep tabs on you. Just like cell phones, if they want to find you they can buy tracking your phone. Also the Covid shots are suppose to be FREE so S.S. # are just another way to know where you are & go. Hope she gets her shot, & again good for her for staying some what private!
