You are very lucky to get your vaccination. My wife and I have been waiting a week to get scheduled.

I wonder why it is that some folks who registered on Tuesday got their shots before those of us that registered on Monday. It's been so long since I filled out the form. Did it ask for pre-existing conditions? I did get the email saying I was approved.

We registered Wednesday and have not received our code? By the way, do they give us options on time and day of first and second shot?

Is this the Moderna vaccine or Pfizer?

Thumbs up Registration

Lots of talk about this on the Nextdoor app also. It seems that if you give them ALL the information they ask for - SS and insurance you get a reply the same day or the next day. I filled in everything and got my first and second appointment schedule the next day. Don't know why - it just is!

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.
Husband & I both signed up Tues. Nothing yet

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.
What a nice posting...WITH a map! Going Monday! Thx!

We signed up early Sunday morning and we’re notified around 4 pm Tuesday. First available choice was January 20th. There doesn’t seem to be a standard scheduling equation. Patience is a necessity.

If you registered on Monday afternoon or earlier and are still waiting with concern if you are on the list, you can email sumtercovid19@gmr.com and request they check the list for your names. They will reply instantly letting you know someone will email you back in 4-6 hours with a verification you are on the list. For those who registered Monday night or later have some patience and just wait for more vaccines to arrive.

We got our first dose yesterday at the Saferestart site. The whole process was smooth and ease. They are fantastic. The sign up process was easy. We filled out the forms on the internet and got our appointments 2 days later. If they can secure more vaccine, they’ll be able to handle many more people per day
