Today's vaccination experience
Got my first shot today at the SafeRestart Center over off Woodridge Dr.
Let me say I was very impressed with the whole operation. Plenty of people to direct you at every step of the way. Just have your email printout and ID with you and you will breeze right through. You stay in your car the entire time. The longest wait was the mandatory 15 minutes wait after you receive the vaccine, just to make sure there are no complications. I entered off Woodridge Dr, but it's actually easier (and more direct) to just turn onto Tatonka Dr off CR 466 (at the Red Lobster). All in all, I've been very impressed with Global Medical Response who they brought in to manage this operation. Yes, there were some communication issues (remember the Daily Sun printing the WRONG web address or discovering they wanted way too much personal data that really wasn't required). And it would be nice if there was some way to follow up after you get your initial acknowledgement (after helping several people who are tech-challenged, they all got their appointments and I still had not heard anything, but suddenly there it was yesterday and there were slots available for today) rather than just "waiting to be contacted". None of us like the unknown! And yes, the sophistication of their system does require that you have internet access. So, if you hear of a neighbor who doesn't know about the procedure or finds it too daunting, lend a hand and help them. |

I signed up my husband and myself Tuesday morning. We both got emails saying our registrations were successful and to wait for another email to schedule. Neither one of us has heard anything else . I keep checking email inboxes and also spam folders, but nothing yet.
We are willing to wait our turn, but I am curious if anyone who registered later than Tuesday morning got scheduled through the Safe Restart program which seems like a very good option at this point. |

Patience is a big virtue for getting the email with your appointment code. Some get the email before those who had registered prior to them - not sure why but it happens. No need to get too worked up about it. I and my wife registered within 5 minutes of each other, got our Part 2 emails 5 hours apart and our vaccination appointments are two days apart. Why? Who knows -- just important that we are ready. Keep the faith!

I guess patience is the word
I signed up on Monday morning and then helped some other friends sign up as well. They all got notifications by the next day but mine didn't. It finally showed up yesterday, just as I was starting to get anxious. But as long as you've received the email acknowledgment (I've attached a copy of mine), I'd say, "hang in there".

The email basically gives you the code to go in and schedule your vaccination. We chose the email notification. But for me, the wife and MIL, We received a text telling us to check our email for the code. In all three cases they were there in minutes or less. MIL registered Monday and got her code Thursday. Wife and I registered Sunday and received codes Monday.
