COVID VACCINE NEWSLETTER

DATA COMPILED ON APRIL 26, 2021

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

Congress created a new program through the American Rescue Plan to provide financial assistance for COVID-19 related funeral expenses that were incurred after January 20, 2020. Applications for assistance are OPEN. For more information and to see if you qualify, visit FEMA’s website here.

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

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.
