“We are in a new phase of our vaccination efforts, where we are focused on making sure no arm is left behind,” said Governor Hogan. “Making an appointment to get vaccinated is easier than ever, or you can now just walk up or drive through most of our sites. The faster we all get vaccinated, the sooner we can put this pandemic behind us once and for all.”
