Montgomery County’s COVID-19 vaccination partnership with Johns Hopkins Medicine will expand this week to include private school staff members.
After receiving 8,775 vaccine doses from the state on Jan. 23, Johns Hopkins teamed with the county to distribute those doses. They went to county residents older than age 65 who have received care from Johns Hopkins in the past two years, as well as Montgomery County Public Schools employees.
The partnership was part of an effort to help prepare for the reopening of public schools, according to a press release from the county at the time.
