You never volunteer any info unless you initiate the contact. No reputable agency will phone you or email and ask for info. Cops, IRS, SSA, Medicare etc will send mail. Too many still falling for the scams.

Received email from Sheriff's office re: this program. However, they will not process request w/out SS #. I will not give this out to some unknown entity on a website. They do not need this information!!! Will wait for Sumter county health appointment or publix appointment.

They don't even say what they are sticking in your arm? Nothing about what vaccine. I DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE.

That seems rather drastic.......

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

See post #46.

I was able to get an appointment for my wife and me tomorrow. Concerned with all the negative posts here I took my confirmation letter to the Sumter Co Health Dept to see if this was indeed legitimate. She assured me it was. She said the vaccine clinic is not being run by the Sumter county. She was not happy with the Daily Sun for posting incorrect information. She also said it will be held at different locations on different days. I went to the address given on the confirmation letter. It is a big empty field behind Fresh Market. They are putting up large white tents as we speak. I talked to a man at the entrance and asked him if this is where the vaccine clinic will be held tomorrow and he said yes.

Thank you, I see it there now.

I'm sure I clicked that box earlier and saw the press release from the 8th (as is indicated in the yellow box) but I see the Update there now.

Thanks again

The Sumter County website has the link as previous folks have listed. Makes me think it is legit.

got email from Villages Health that included this: There is a larger scale vaccination effort starting in The Villages Tuesday, January 12, 2021 (link below). This effort is the result of a state contract with Global Medical Response (GMR) for a drive through vaccination site.

The biggest issues with the two approved vaccines are still production and distribution. GMR has 4,000 doses for vaccination this week and a commitment from the state for up to 90,000 doses over 90 days.

I registered last night around 9:20pm and got the second code and an appointment around 1:30pm today for tomorrow. They also gave me the date and time for the second shot four weeks from tomorrow so I assume this must be the Moderna vaccine and not the Pfizer which has the second shot three weeks after the first one.

Legitimate agencies will NEVER ask you to share information publicly.

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

Actually, they do want your medicare number and last 4 of your SS#. But in the case of Publix, they called for that info.

Good that this is legit, good that there is an organized effort for mass vaccinations and, if the numbers are correct, good that more than half the Sumter County residents will be vaccinated by the end of February.

I just have to wonder where this private company is getting the vaccine if the Dept of Health can't get it.
