I’ve been trying to get a hold of my kids immunization records. Signed a medical release form 3 weeks ago I call everyday to see if the form is ready and everyday I get a different response. I was told I was going to get a call back today and they close at 5pm and still nothing.

I brought my daughter for a series of vaccinations and the service was extraordinary! No sooner had we checked in with immunizations, we were invited back to the exam room where the shot was quickly administered. We were in and out in less than 3 minutes. The staff is extremely friendly and polite. It is a joy to go to the Health Department in Marion County.

I had been watching the struggle of Florida residents trying to obtain the Covid-19 Vaccination with great concern and wondered when the vaccine might be available to my mother who is in the 65+ group here in Marion County. I hoped there would not be the kinds of waiting lines by foot or car that I had been seeing from other Florida counties on television but figured we would have to do whatever we needed to get my mother that vaccine. When the vaccine for Marion County was advertised on the news one evening, I immediately got online to try to get an appointment for her. Once I completed inputting the information, I was instructed that someone from the Marion County Health Department would contact us for scheduling. I figured we might have to wait several weeks to a month, but within a week or so, I received a call on Thursday, January 21, 2021, stating they could give her an appointment for the following day at 2:45 p.m. I was given the information as to the place, Paddock Mall, and that there would be carts to help get people from their car to the front doors of the Mall entrance in case we had to park far away. When Friday came, I packed up my mother’s wheelchair, an umbrella in case we had to stand out in the rain/sun, sweaters, and water for us both. We arrived at the Paddock Mall and I was surprised that I did not see a long line of people winding around the building. Instead, we found a good parking spot, walked up to the small tent directly outside the entrance, and received a short form to fill out with a color-coded numbered card. Before we could complete the form, our color was called where we then moved up to a waiting spot to the left of the entrance doors. Within about 5 minutes we were escorted inside to a table where I checked her in and handed in the form. The staff gave us her second appointment to come back for the last of the two vaccinations. No more than another 5 minutes we were then placed in a line that moved quickly around a few store fronts and into an empty store space where she received her vaccine provided by nursing staff. We then went to a thirty-minute waiting area where we received pertinent information regarding the vaccine and what to do if any problems occurred. After that, we were free to go. The whole process took about one hour. The Marion County Health Department, Fire Department/EMT’s, volunteer staff, and Marion County Sheriff’s Office did a fantastic job of setting up and processing the Covid-19 Vaccinations. I believe the entire State of Florida could benefit from the way Marion County has taken on this project.

Q why can't you notify people who registered online and gave you their email address a notification that their request has been receive and why cant those same people be notified via email of the appointment data and time. Also why can't you predict an appointment time for people. You know how many shots per day you can do. It doesn't have to be exact it could be " the week of" with a follow-up with an exact time by email &/or phone( leave voice mail)

If you still live in the area, go to the health Dpt and they will give you a blue paper to fill out "application for florida birth record" it will say. Its $13 and $7 for each additional copy if you want extra. You can get a protective plastic sleeve if you choose also, for an extra 3 bucks! Hope this helps! 😆

How does someone report a business about BATHROOMS being out due to flooding with poop all over the floor and members cant go to the restroom

Lynn Ricks | Sep 5, 2020
Jennifer Swiontek | Sep 5, 2020

There should be a manager or head honcho to complain to. I don't know what the person's name is but I assume you can ask at the desk. This is a county run facility so the better business bureau won't be able to do anything. I would start with the person in charge at the health dept.

Fo they offer pregnancy tests and confirmation letter?

D Shannon | Sep 5, 2020
Sterling Beaudet | Sep 5, 2020

I believe they do offer pregnancy test, but not sure about a confirmation letter. The Women's Pregnancy Center on Silver Springs Blvd does though. They were so wonderful when I went back in 2018.
