The Garrett County Health Department is working with various state and local partners to bring vaccination clinics into the communities.
“It may seem like there are vaccine clinics popping up everywhere, and that’s basically true,” said Garrett County Health Officer Bob Stephens. “As vaccine supply has increased, so has the offer for help from various state and federal agencies. Bringing the vaccine into the communities is the best way to make sure everyone who wants a vaccine is able to get it.”
Over the next several weeks there will be clinics in many communities. All the clinics are under the broad umbrella of the Maryland GoVAX campaign. Although various clinics are coordinated by different agencies, they all have the same goal of getting vaccines into the arms of people.
