Maryland vaccine update

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan says there’s 'good news and some not-so-good news' on the availability of vaccines for the state. He toured a new vaccine equity site at a Prince George’s County church on Tuesday as he faces greater calls for more mass vaccination sites, especially in Montgomery County.

Montgomery County – which saw the first COVID-19 cases in the region a year ago – could soon have its own mass vaccination site, according to local officials.

Governor Larry Hogan noted, however, that no final decision has been reached, and the announcement from the county could be premature.

Hogan said a decision should come next week.
