Dozens Of Maryland Pharmacies Now Can Give COVID-19 Vaccine

MARYLAND — EPIC Pharmacies, a group of independently-owned pharmacies headquartered in Maryland, have joined the state’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution network. There are more than 50 pharmacies in Maryland affiliated with EPIC Pharmacies.

“As the largest group of independently-owned pharmacies in Maryland, EPIC Pharmacies are grateful for the opportunity to assist in vaccinating their local communities,” Jeff Scher, president of EPIC Pharmacies, said in a statement.

Gov. Larry Hogan's office also announced Friday that the state reported a new one-day high of 57,550 vaccines administered and a new record seven-day average of 44,839 shots per day. Maryland providers now have administered a total of 2,095,245 vaccine doses and according to the CDC, 23.6 percent of Maryland’s population has now received at least one dose.

“Our phased, data-based COVID-19 vaccine plan calls for the number of distribution points across Maryland to continue to grow nearly every day,” Hogan said in a statement. “We currently have 2,324 different distribution points from one end of the state to the other, and are thrilled to add EPIC Pharmacies to our vaccination efforts in order to further expand our reach and ensure that no Marylander is left behind.”
