Thanks for sharing your experience!

They gave me options for shot #1 -- but shot #2 is merely 28 days later

When I got the message saying I was approved there was a 6 character alpha numeric code attached. I then had to go back into their website punch in my code and select date and time.

A big thank you for that detailed msg on how to go through the Safe Restart process............really helped when we went this morning.
Plus, had to schedule our appointments 2 hours apart because I'm not too techie but they agreed to take us at the same time. Really simplified it. This is a class outfit running a very smooth operation.

I contacted the main company directly by filling out a "Contact Us" form on their website.(see link below) I explained that I had applied on Monday, Jan 11th and received the email that stated I had successfully applied for the vaccine. That was the Step 1 part of the process. Then by Wednesday, Jan. 13th I had not received my second email to get my code to complete Step 2. People who applied AFTER me were receiving their codes. This is what I told the main company when I contacted them on their "Contact Us" page on their website.

I received an email within minutes from the main company stating I would be hearing from my local representative of Saferestart soon. One hour later, I got my email with the code so I could proceed to Step 2 and register for the vaccine. Coincidence????? I'll never know but within one hour of receiving my code to register, I was in a line at the vaccine location on 466, behind Fresh Market. Luckily, they had a time slot available THAT day. It got my first shot on Wed, Jan 13th.

This is the "Contact Us" page on the main company website.....

[QUOTE=coffeebean;1888405]interesting lets see what happens with us. thank you

When I registered and then picked my time slot. In confirmation email had both appointments, initial and f/u in February with a time slot.

Check you’re junk folder? Depending on your security settings it may of sent it to junk file or what ever file your system has for spam?

You select an available day and time. Once you do that, your appointment for your second shot is automatically generated for 28 days from the day of your first shot and the same time window. That is how it worked for the Moderna vaccine I received at the 466 site.

No one asked me for my insurance information at the location. I did not enter my SS# or insurance information on line when I registered. I entered all zeros for the SS#.

You pick a date and time for your appointment in a drop down on the website. I'm not sure what you mean when asking about "how many days notice doe they give you?"

Could this be the reason many people are still waiting for their email or text with their code and others who registered AFTER them have already received their code to register? Have these folks who are still waiting somehow missed their communication Saferestart claims have been sent? OR has Saferestart had a computer glitch? Something just doesn't add up.

CoffeeBean- in the drop down menu for Product Interest what did you check? I saw nothing for vaccine and the other categories didn’t seem to fit.

I entered, "Online Ordering"

Thanks for posting this.

We sent in our request from SafeStart Sunday nite---everyone around us are getting them-we haven't heard a bit

Good Luck

I signed my husband and me up on Tuesday morning, but still no code for appointments.

I just got a notice that was not very clear, from the Saferestart group. It said if you have received a code, but don’t have an appointment, you won’t get one for a while as they are out of vaccines. They did not say anything about people who HAVE an appointment for the FIRST shot. I have an 8:30 appointment on Monday, so I guess I’ll at least show up and see if they have enough for people who do have an appointment.

The e-mail I received states....
All 7,500 scheduled appointments for first doses, including those who received scheduling codes but have not yet scheduled, have been placed on hold until we receive adequate supply of the vaccine.

So it sounds like even if you have an appointment time, all is now on hold.

It was very clear on my email that anyone scheduled for a first appointment from tonight forward will not be having their shots until more supply comes in.

We had an appt friday at 4:30 and there was no vaccine.

Got email this a.m. saying I am on wait list while they wait for more doses to arrive. Wish it were quicker but reassured their communication is working. Just a while longer I hope...

Actually they did say if
You have an upcoming appointment for the first vaccine scheduled, you will NOT be getting it. They will try to give everyone who already had the first vaccine, the 2nd one. Everything else
Is on hold.

Hummm, Maybe better to wait for the Johnson and Johnson one shot...

People have reported that they were turned away at the Saferestart site on 466. They had appointments for their first shot and were told there was no vaccine for them.

Has it been reported what the J&J vaccine efficacy is?

Good luck

So, what date were you able to get online to register? And did they give you your appointment right away? Also, did they give you your appointment date for the 2nd shot at the time they gave you your 1st appointment? or when you showed up for the 1st one?? or what. Thanks in advance

Who are you directing your queries to? You did not quote the person you are addressing?

It says testing site. Is it both a vaccination site AND a testing site?

As I recall only about 50 or so percent. Good but not nearly as good as the others.

A simple internet search came up with this: Johnson & Johnson Covid-19

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is developing one of the most closely watched Covid-19 vaccines, considering that it is a single-dose shot that should be relatively easy to distribute. Here’s a quick rundown on the recent developments for the vaccine. Based on data from the phase 1/2 trials of 805 participants, published on Wednesday, the vaccine generated a long-lasting immune response with 90% of participants generating neutralizing antibodies against the Coronavirus. Based on these early-stage findings the company expects the vaccine to be more than 70% effective, noting that efficacy could reach “very high levels”. For perspective, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which are being rolled out in the U.S. are over 90% effective. More conclusive efficacy data from J&J’s phase 3 study which has 45,000 volunteers is expected in the coming weeks with the company likely to proceed with emergency approval if the results are favorable.

January 21, 2021 THE SUMTER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT PROVIDES UPDATES ON COVID-19 VACCINATION Media Contact: Megan McCarthy DLCHD60PIO@flhealth.gov 352-569-3102 The purpose of this memo is to provide you an update concerning the COVID-19 vaccine situation in Sumter County and outline the next steps forward. As many of you know, the mass vaccination effort conducted by Global Medical Response (GMR) was suspended on January 16th due to a shortage of vaccines. Since that time, the health department has been in contact with GMR and has received from them a list of persons that were appointed but did not receive vaccination. Additionally, the health department received 1,000 doses to vaccinate the public that can be applied to service this list. Therefore, the plan for these 1,000 doses is to appoint those remaining people who received an appointment for Saturday afternoon (1/16) by GMR but were not vaccinated as well as to begin appointment for persons who were scheduled for vaccination on the early morning of 1/17. The health department will call these individuals to schedule these appointments which will be spaced out over three days; January 22 nd, 25th and 27th 2021. Beyond this, as additional doses are received by the health department from the State of Florida, I will continue to vaccinate the GMR appointment list in the chronological order of their scheduled appointment. Please understand however, that those already requiring second doses must be given priority over the list of persons needing primary doses to ensure the success of the overall vaccination effort. Second doses will be automatically scheduled and administered by the health department. You will receive a vaccination card of that second dose appointment date. No further actions are required by you. Please note that these vaccinations will take place at the Wildwood Community Center, on 6500 Powell Road (and not at the site where GMR was doing mass vaccination). Additional vaccination sites may need to be sourced in the future as the situation warrants. Finally, for those of you waiting for your second dose from other vaccination opportunities previously conducted by the Sumter County Health Department, that re-supply process is moving forward smoothly. You will receive your second vaccination on the date that you were given. Please allow me to close by thanking GMR for working with the health department to provide vaccination in the most orderly manner possible under difficult circumstances. As the supply situation improves over time, GMR will likely assist the health department more directly by providing mass vaccinations. I also want to thank you all for your patience. My office may be reached at 352-569-3102 if you have questions regarding this letter. Respectfully, Sanford D Zelnick D.O.., M.S. Director Sumter County Health Department
