A new mobile COVID-19 vaccine clinic will travel to get the shots to Baltimore s older residents, city and health leaders announced Monday.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and Health Commissioner Dr. Letitia Dzirasa joined partners from MedStar Health, Lifebridge Health, Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing to announce a mobile vaccination and outreach strategy targeting older adults in Baltimore City.
“We are cautiously optimistic about where we stand,” Scott said.
Scott said continuing declines in the city s coronavirus positivity rate are promising but that the vaccine effort will be key.
The partnership is set to provide mobile vaccine clinics to the communities that need help the most.
