COVID-19 vaccine hunter group on Facebook helps track down appointments
Callan Tansill-Suddath
Frustrated with the slow rollout, many residents are turning to a Facebook group for help in hunting down COVID-19 vaccine appointments.
The Maryland Vaccine Hunters group has existed for just over a month but boasts, at publishing, nearly 55,000 members.
Nancy Knuth, 75, lives in Parkton with her 76-year-old husband; the two have been eligible to receive vaccines since the state entered phase 1B on Jan. 18 but were unable to make appointments without assistance.
Knuth said she checked online multiple times a day for nearly three weeks and never managed to book any, but after she joined Maryland Vaccine Hunters, someone procured vaccine appointments for the couple and their daughter, who runs a preschool.
