Maryland will enter vaccine phase 2A on Tuesday, Gov. Hogan says.
The governor rolled out an updated timeline for all vaccine groups in Maryland.
Maryland will move to Phase 2A of the state's COVID-19 vaccination plan on Tuesday, March 23, Gov. Larry Hogan announced at a press conference Thursday.
The governor also rolled out an updated timeline for all vaccine groups. All Marylanders will be eligible to receive a vaccine no later than April 27, Hogan said. The expanded eligibility comes after news from White House officials that states should begin to see a significant increase in vaccine supply beginning the week of March 29.
Phase 2A: Tuesday! Marylanders 60+ can pre-register TODAY
Phase 2B: March 30 (16+ with underlying medical conditions)
Phase 2C: April 13 (55+, essential workers, critical industries)
Phase 3: April 27 (EVERY Marylander 16+)
The state has officially vaccinated more than two million people, and has vaccinated more people than 34 other states, Hogan said. Maryland administered more vaccines at long-term care facilities than 37 other states and is averaging a record 43,034 shots per day.
As of today, the governor said nearly 25% of all Marylanders have been vaccinated, including nearly two-thirds of Marylanders age 65 and older. He also said the Six Flags of America vaccination site has administered more than 100,000 shots.
Maryland will also launch a pilot program this week to provide vaccines to primary care practices throughout the state as part of an effort to better reach vulnerable communities, Hogan said. The program will begin with 37 practices chosen due to their ability to serve Black and Hispanic communities and rural areas, according to Hogan.
