I just received my code for Saferestart (GMR). I went on that list on 1/12 at 11AM so that will give some an idea of how long before they are called. I had my first shot last week at Lake County and there is no way to cancel this GMR reservation.

I would guess that just like any other vaccine those that chose not to take it will be a very small minority. Once everyone in this state is vaccinated there will be no need to wear masks and social distance. As for those that refuse it, at that point they are only a danger to themselves.

While people in Massachusetts certainly have been vaccinated the number is low compared to Florida. You might as well say that other people in Florida have received both their shots but you haven't. What's your point? As I stated, people over the age of 65 have between a one out of six and one out of ten chance of getting the vaccine depending on how many doses are sent by the federal government.

Florida is doing a better job of getting those vaccines in the arms of people than any other state.

My statement is that Florida has injected the most people per capita than any other state. That's different from the highest percentage of vaccines received that have been administered.

I have to question these numbers as well. With so many people trying to get the vaccine it's difficult for me to believe that every dose sent here hasn't been administered, other than the fact that they may be saving doses for second doses. When I got my first shot, I got an appointment for my second shot. I guess that it's possible that they are holding those second doses until the date of the second appointment. That would explain the numbers in the 60th percentile.

It's possible that Utah has administered 88% of the doses received while only hoping that the second dose will be there when it's time.

Not sure from where you got your data. This is as of Feb 12: States ranked by percentage of COVID-19 vaccines administered: Feb. 12
Florida was #24

It appears that only about 23% of seniors have been vaccinated thus far. 1,044,00 shots for 4,500,000 senior in Florida.

I have a friend in Massachusetts he and his wife are just under 75, she has pre-existing conditions and they are not even close to being on a list to be vaccinated.

The process here in Florida is not seamless but if persistent , you will get an appointment and the shots. NY is a typical mess.

Do you actually believe the statistics that Desantis or any other governor gives out. I feel that they could be factual but politicians have been known to lie.

Interesting data point: A relative in NY was able to make online appointments for two individuals under 65 who had underlying conditions. From everything I've seen on this site, that cannot be done here in Florida.

Florida seems to be doing very well distributing the vaccines they are receiving. However, it would be nice if there was a way to accommodate those with underlying conditions. (and if I've missed something, please let me know)
