Maryland Department of Health Acting Secretary Dennis R. Schrader said Griffith’s visibility and service record make her an important addition to the GoVAX team.
At only an 11% vaccination rate, Prince George’s has the lowest second-dose per capita vaccination rate in the state, according to figures by the Maryland Department of Health.
“[Griffith is important] not only as an ambassador, but as an advocate for Prince George’s and all Marylanders during this unprecedented time.”
Griffith weighs in during a public service announcement that is airing on television and will soon be launched on social media. Griffith says:

Maryland lawmakers who wanted a COVID-19 vaccine were able to get one beginning this week.
They are eligible because Phase 1B of the state’s vaccination protocol has a “continuity of government” provision that includes members of the General Assembly. Maryland entered Phase 1C on Jan. 25.
“We’re a constitutional part of government, and we are there for continuity of government,” said Senate Minority Whip Michael J. Hough (R-Frederick and Carroll). “We’re down here. We’ve got to approve the state budget, and we’re approving the governor’s relief package.”
“So we’re doing things that are very important for the citizens of Maryland during this pandemic.”
