The phone call you receive to re-confirm your appointment will come from the main office phone number at 352-569-3102. The Sumter County Health Department will continue to make appointments from this pre-registration list.
“We are also excited to share that the number of partner organizations that will provide vaccinations are increasing throughout the county,” said Dr. Sanford Zelnick, director of the Sumter County Health Department.
