COVID 19 Vaccination Information

Hello Brooksville,

Everyone is wondering about what to do, where to go, and will my doctor call to schedule my appointment? After a bit of research... this is what we have been able to find out!

COVID 19 Vaccination Information:

1. Currently only first responders, medical workers, those in residential/nursing home settings, and people 70 years old and over are included in the eligible category.

2. The Doctor's Office (at least at this point) will not call you to schedule your appointment. Either you or a trusted representative must contact the entity issuing the vaccinations to schedule your appointment. In most cases, appointments can be made online or by telephone. (see contact information below)

3. You will need the following information when you are ready to make your appointment. Your Name, Mailing Address, Date of Birth, a quick Health History (yes or no), your Social Security Number, your Medicare Card... they will want the date which both parts A & B became effective (found on the bottom of the card on the right). Some will ask your Medical provider's name.

4. If you call, you will need to be prepared to wait. They will say "Due to the call volume you may want to call back "Do Not Hang Up, stay on hold (unless they say "We are out of vaccine, call back Monday.."), be patient, and get a good book to pass the wait time. We have been told the average wait time is 35 minutes, but have heard some folks have gotten through sooner and others have waited 45 plus minutes.

5. Online you will be taken through different steps to set up your appointment at a time and location convenient to you.

6. After your first vaccination appointment is scheduled they will schedule your second as well.

7. When calling - call on Monday or Wednesday, if possible. Those are the dates new allotments of Vaccine are issued. Although they are saying call after 2:00 PM on those days I have been told by providers to start calling after 9:00 AM as soon as they open, they will take callers they may say "Due to the call volume you may want to call back", that means they are in and are scheduling appointments, so remember Do Not Hang Up, stay on hold.
