Montgomery County Preparing to Move Forward with Vaccine Phases  The Montgomery County health department (DHHS) is preparing to begin COVID-19 vaccinations for Priority Groups 1B, tiers 2 and 3, and Group 1C Tier 1, to include residents ages 65-74, County Health Officer Dr. Travis Gayles said during a media briefing Wednesday. Within the last week, the county has doubled down on sending vaccine appointment registration links to residents ages 75+, within Priority Group 1B tier 1, to make sure no one is missed, Gayles said. Group 1B tiers 2 and 3 include frontline essential workers like public transit workers, education staff, food and agricultural workers and grocery store workers. Phase 1C tier 1 includes residents ages 65-74. Gayles said the county will begin sending out registration links in the very near future, “likely today.” But, he emphasized that doses are limited and not everyone in the expanded groups will receive a link on Wednesday.
