Governor Larry Hogan and First Lady Yumi Hogan will join Howard County Executive Calvin Ball on Wednesday April 14th at 2:00 p.m. to tour a vaccine clinic at Bridgeway Church and Bethel Korean Church. The clinic is a partnership between the state’s Vaccine Equity Task Force, Howard County Health Department and other County agencies.
“Our Mobile Integrated Community Health team, Health Department, and Department of Community Resources and Services have been so effective in setting up these local vaccine clinics to reach more of our community.” said Ball. “Now with expanded eligibility and increasing supply, we must do the hard work of ensuring that communities of color, our more vulnerable residents, neighbors with limited English proficiency, residents of all abilities, and people who have limited access to online registration can get their vaccine.”

HOWARD COUNTY, MD County officials have struggled to receive enough COVID-19 vaccines in recent time, concerning residents who are eligible to receive the shot. Many Howard County residents have grown impatient with the vaccination process, but officials hands are tied since the state receives its vaccination supply from the federal government, which is allocating approximately 12,000 doses per day. The signup process also can be confusing for some, making them wonder how to schedule an appointment and if they re even eligible to receive a shot and where can they obtain a vaccination.
Howard County is set to receive 1,700 COVID-19 vaccine doses a week from the state of Maryland for the next month, Dr. Maura Rossman, Howard County’s health officer, said Tuesday.
