From the Experts
The Maryland National Guard is supporting the rollout of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines in a number of capacities, from deploying Mobile Vaccination Support Teams to local health departments to standing up Maryland’s mass vaccination sites. Learn more about their vaccination support efforts on Twitter.
Important Updates
The state’s next mass vaccination site will open at M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday, February 25. To receive updates on appointments for mass vaccination sites, text ‘MdReady’ to 898-211.
Federal officials have warned the states that the ongoing series of winter storms may cause delays in shipments to vaccine providers this week. When there is inclement weather, be sure to check with your provider, and confirm your appointment.
More than 200 providers are now listed on covidvax.maryland.gov, where you can search to find a vaccination clinic near you, or call 211 for assistance. Vaccinations are by appointment only, and some providers may allow you to pre-register.
