Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott is calling on Gov. Larry Hogan to set up mass COVID-19 vaccination sites to speed up vaccinating the city population.|| Coronavirus updates | Maryland's latest numbers | Where to get tested ||The city has a population of almost 600,000 people, and its only citywide COVID-19 vaccine site is at an Under Armour facility in Port Covington, where the number of vaccines administered is just 500 per day."We know that we need to be doing more than 500 per day," Health Commissioner Dr. Letitia Dzirasa said."We are clearly not where we would like to be with these numbers," Scott said.Dzirasa suggested the Baltimore City Health Department on its own doesn't have the capacity to ramp up distribution as needed. Dzirasa said every COVID-19 vaccination appointment slot has been filled through the end of January. "There is a need to rapidly expand and scale up, and the only way we are going to be able to do that is through collaboration with partners," Dzirasa said.Dzirasa said the city has received a little more than 11,000 doses so far.Baltimore City COVID-19 vaccine informationScott said he met Friday with the governor and asked the state to establish and support mass vaccination sites. "I also requested the governor's partnership to establish mass vaccination sites similar to the mass testing sites we set up in Baltimore that we worked with the state on," Scott said.Watch the mayor's news conference in its entirety:One of the challenges of expanding the eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine is both making sure there are enough doses available and that people get their second COVID-19 dose in a timely manner."Obviously, we want to vaccinate as many people as possible and get those first doses in, but the science really tells us that that second dose is critically important for protection and we need to ensure we have sufficient doses to get the second doses in on time," said Bill Moss, executive director of the International Vaccine Access Center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.Moss said the success of the vaccine program will only be shown when there's a decline in deaths and hospitalizations related to the virus.As of Friday, the United States has only administered 11 million vaccine doses -- about 36% of doses distributed -- when taking into account delays in reporting.The mayor also said Friday there will be no change in the city's current coronavirus restrictions, which include the ban on in-person dining at restaurants. The mayor said he will meet over the weekend with restaurant owners, saying, "I feel their pain."Dzirasa said the city has seen a slight dip in new cases at the end of December, but a surge of new cases in the first week of January.The health commissioner said one number she really keeps an eye on is the hospital capacity number -- the city's intensive care unit capacity is at 91% and acute care is at 90%. Dzirasa added that the city's hospitals care for people from all over the state.Dzirasa said the metrics and hospitalization numbers need to trend downward before restaurants can reopen at 25% capacity.
