MARYLAND CLOSING MASS VAX SITES, WILL USE MOBILE CLINICS: With demand for coronavirus vaccinations falling, Maryland has started closing the state’s mass-inoculation sites, Rachel Chason reports for the Post. Gov. Larry Hogan (R) announced Thursday that the state is shifting resources to mobile and community-based clinics and has already closed the Greenbelt mass-vaccination site.
Because the sites are closing and cannot offer second doses weeks in the future, the sites are all currently offering only Johnson and Johnson one-dose vaccines, Johanna Alonso reports for The Daily Record.

The coronavirus pandemic and political shift has created a perfect storm for the solar industry, said Ryan Nicholson, SES s director of project development.
