COVID VACCINE NEWSLETTER

DATA COMPILED ON MARCH 1, 2021

Welcome to the fifth edition of my COVID Vaccine Newsletter with information about vaccine distribution in our community. 

Last week, I spoke with Governor Hogan about the need to work together as Team Maryland to get vaccines into the arms of every Marylander who wants one. We must continue this partnership as we get the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week.

While Governor Hogan and our state and local leaders are solely responsible for the vaccine distribution and eligibility standards, this newsletter will provide you the latest information about that process in each county in the Sixth District.

This newsletter includes information aggregated from multiple sources across the state. For all questions and concerns related to Maryland’s COVID-19 vaccine plan, please contact the office of Governor Larry Hogan.

To continue to receive this newsletter, please subscribe here.

WHAT PHASE ARE WE IN?

• Residents age 65 and older
• Essential workers in food and agriculture, manufacturing, public transit, grocery stores, U.S. Postal Service, veterinary medicine, clergy, and more.

However, it is important to note that Governor Hogan has given each county and vaccination site the ability to set their own eligibility requirements, which may differ from the statewide phase.

For a complete list of who is eligible for a vaccine at this time, please click here.

WHERE CAN I GET MY VACCINE?

Each county is progressing along their vaccination plan at a different pace based on population size and the availability of the vaccine. Below is a list of the current vaccination sites available in each county. You can also use this tool to find a COVID-19 vaccination site near you.

Please note that any Marylander who's eligible can register for a vaccine at a mass vaccination site.
