You can register in any county to get on their notification list. May take a week or two to get that notification but then you can select a time slot for a vaccine when you are notified. Works much better than the Sumter County system, if you can call it that. Amazing to me that with our significant elderly population we are struggling so much to get the vaccine. My wife and I got our first shot yesterday in another county and it went very smoothly. I suggest you shop neighboring counties and pick one you think will work for you. Good luck.

This is a legitimate site! My husband and I are now both registered for our vaccines! The tents are going up now off of 466 and Wedgewood Lane! He has both appointments for the vaccine starting tomorrow, My vaccine is scheduled for next Monday with follow up 4 weeks later for the second shot!

You can sign up with out giving them your SS number or insurance info. Sumter County sent me an Email when I inquired about the site. They said is that is how they are making appoints now and no longer using Eventbrite..

I used them and got an appointment after giving them information within three days, they are legitimate.

Absolutely legit - You can put in all 0's for the SS# - I have my 1st shot appt on 1-14 with the 2nd on 2-11. They are setting up off 466 in front of the Home Goods store. From what I hear the first 4000 have signed up so it's full for now but expecting 90,000 more vaccines total. Yes the site had to be confirmed legit because of the SS thing but it was. It is in collaboration with the county not the health dept. Easy to sign up, you get a confirmation email time/date stamped and wait for another email for a vaccine date and you are able to select a time also in 1/2 hour increments. The website is.....sumterfl.saferestart.net. Good luck to all!

Why? Its free. You should just be showing a valid picture ID

Put all zeros in the ssn and no for insurance. Recommended by Sumter county sheriffs office. It is a legitimate web site.

I'll bet it is free to the person receiving the shot but the company is allowed to recover its costs through insurances.

The vaccine *might* be provided free to the company but they still need to pay their staff who make reservations, pay for the tents, pay for the traffic control, pay for whoever is administering the shots, etc.

. I already signed up for this. Any way to get off their list?

I went to the Villages Health yesterday and spoke to their Administrator who confirmed this was the appropriate website.

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.

Is it a scam?
 

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?

The entry field is at the extreme right of the page.

Google it
 

Google it.. It's all explained..

You can put all 0s for number and still apply

It worked for me
 

Singed up Monday am and have a vaccine appointment for Friday at noon

I did this yesterday and now I'm wondering..put in soc sec and blue cross..if anyone knows let us know!!!!

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!!!!

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!!

Received 1st shot 8:30 this morning
 

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!

I completed the registration yesterday for myself and my husband. This morning, we both have two appointments each for the Moderna vaccine. The online newspaper says that if you don't want to provide your SS#, you can fill the space with zeroes and still register.

It may be legit, but not sure how secure--If hacked all your info including SS# is available-not a good idea.

I registered on Monday Am and know several people that signed up after me and they have appointments already.

I am still waiting.

Okay, what is the exact website I go to and sign up?

DeSantis spoke from the site this AM.

I don't have a scanner.

Follow instructions, I guess you leave that blank. It does ask for the insurance # and group #, that might suffice.

I received notice of this from villages health. I suspect the ss is an attempt to measure how many people are being vaccinated. I trust villages health.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that you would be contacted for a reservation by the order you registered? If I am correct, that's not how it's working. I registered for my wife and I yesterday at 1PM, and then booked one for a friend who couldn't do it at 4PM. I also walked his wife through the process at 2PM.He got his appointment confirmed this morning, his wife got her's an hour later, and we're still waiting for ours. Doesn't seem that it's being done in order

I improvised.. Took a pic with my handy dandy digital camera and put it into computer.

Like you, I'm on the waiting list.

Thanks John :bigbow:

use all zeroes for SS# and no for insurance. I'm waiting for appointment & know friends who got theirs.

The website is legit. Don’t have to give SS#, just fill in with zeros. Answer no to insurance. In line now for the vaccination
