After about three months of operation, Montgomery County’s only COVID-19 mass vaccination site is closing Friday.
“Thanks to your tireless work, new cases are on a downward trend and we are beginning to open back up and Maryland is squarely on the road to recovery,” said Emergency Management and Homeland Security Director Dr. Earl Stoddard during a press conference Friday.
More than 73,000 vaccine doses have been administered at the Montgomery College Germantown site, according to the county. Beginning Tuesday, July 6, a vaccination site will open at the Upcounty Regional Services Center, which is also in Germantown.
Stoddard emphasized that the pandemic is not over yet.
