ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) All Maryland residents 16 and up will be eligible to get vaccinated at mass vaccination sites on Tuesday, Gov. Larry Hogan announced.
That same group will be eligible to schedule appointments through all providers starting next Monday, the governor said at a news conference. Residents 16 and up represent Phase 3 of the state s rollout plan.
“Appointments for any remaining individuals in Phase 1 or Phase 2 will continue to be prioritized,” Hogan said. “And Marylanders 16 or 17 years of age will only be able to utilize clinics that are providing the Pfizer vaccine, as it is only one that is currently approved by the (Food and Drug Administration) for ages 16 and over.”
