MARYLAND All Marylanders age 16 and older can now pre-register for a COVID-19 vaccine at a mass vaccination site, Gov. Larry Hogan (R) announced Thursday.
The news comes two days after the state moved into Phase 2B of its vaccination plan which expanded eligibility to residents age 16 and up with disabilities and underlying medical conditions that increase the risk for severe COVID-19 illness.
Other groups eligible to receive a vaccine under Phase 2B include people age 60 and older, nursing home staff and residents, frontline health care workers, and those with certain health conditions.
