3 Million COVID-19 Vaccines Given To Marylanders: April 6

MARYLAND — The state of Maryland has reached a new milestone in the battle against COVID-19. The state has surpassed the milestone of administering 3 million COVID-19 vaccines. In total, 3,041,772 vaccines have been given and the state is averaging 60,317 shots per day. Maryland ranks 15th in the nation for daily rate of doses administered.

Effective April 6, all Marylanders age 16 and older are eligible to get vaccinated at mass vaccination sites. By next Monday, all Marylanders 16 and older will be eligible to schedule appointments and get vaccinated through all providers.

Mass Vaccination Sites. The fastest and most efficient way to get vaccinated at a mass vaccination site is by preregistering for an appointment. To preregister, Marylanders should visit covidvax.maryland.gov. Those without internet access can call Maryland’s COVID-19 Vaccination Support Center at 1-855-MD-GOVAX (1-855-634-6829). Advocates are available seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

No-Appointment Lines Open at Hagerstown and Salisbury. Slots are open Tuesday for those without appointments at the Hagerstown Premium Outlets site and the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center site. Marylanders should be aware that the process for the no-appointment lines will take longer and there is no guarantee of receiving a vaccine, the state noted.
