Well you know who got theirs first. The ones who said they would never take it.

Actually, Pfizer was part of warp speed. Go to the HHS website where it gives you a time line and some facts.

You should be glad. Less chances of YOU being infected by them.

More Covid-19 news updates

Here is a link to the Lake County press release:

Here is a link to the Marion County press release:
Marion County residents ages 65 and older now able to sign up for COVID-19 vaccination | Florida Department of Health in Marion

Even more interesting is the 12/29/2020 press release from Gov. Desantis and Hospital CEOs announcing the overall State distribution plan:

Growing attention on this ...

Private vs public government delivery

The Sumter County Board of Commissioners released the following statement on COVID-19 vaccination:

"The Sumter County Health Department has not yet established a list, line, or registry for an individual to sign up to receive the vaccine as the State of Florida has not defined the schedule and volume of distribution to Sumter County at this time.

Please watch the Sumter County Health Department website and press releases for future announcements."

Anytime the government is involved expect mediocrity and poor communication. What happened to CVS and Walgreens delivery ?

Your post is already out of date. Lake County will NOT have walks ins until sometime next week pending a delivery of more vaccine. Today through 1/2 only appointments are being honored and you can no longer get one. IF the shipment arrives by Saturday, then vaccine sites will accept walk ins starting 1/4. If not, nobody knows when they will restart.

Max0431Zoe 12-31-2020 03:59 PM

I hope your not 75 or over and have several other medical reasons for needing the vaccine. Yes we are sitting at home but not because we are bored and feel inconvenienced but because as a high risk individual, without the vaccine, we could be gone, once infected, in a couple of weeks or less. Hardly just an inconvenience.

And tomorrow yours will be too.

Pfizer did not take money for development of the vaccine. but is a part of warp speed as a supplier of doses

Bonnevie 12-31-2020 04:26 PM

I know many of us are eager to get the vaccine, it's not always best to be the first of a new program. there have been some errors....one person got 5 times the dose because the nurse thought the whole Pfizer vial was one dose. another instance several people got the antibody treatment given to them instead of the vaccine. the antibody treatment is supposed to be diluted and given as an infusion over time, not IM. there's the bizarre case of someone deliberately leaving out vaccines so they are unusable....what if someone inadvertently put them out to be used? we are far better off being a bit more patient until there is an ample supply to insure we get both doses and a streamlined procedure for administration.

Vaccine
 
A friend who lives in Baldwin Park near Orlando registered last Monday for vaccine and she got it today and is scheduled for second shot in Jan! Sat in the car and received it! What happened to nursing homes and assisted living areas being first! She said her friends registered and are getting shots next week! Somethings wrong with this picture!
