NEWS on COVID-19 in Maryland: Maryland's COVID-19 vaccine distribution timeline to come in 4 phases
“Dr. Jinlene Chan, deputy secretary for public health with the Maryland Department of Health, said the state could potentially receive Pfizer vaccine doses as early as next week, depending on federal approval, and Moderna doses as early as Dec. 22.
Both vaccine candidates require two doses administered 21 days apart.
‘To be effective, these vaccines need to reach a vast majority of our population, and to do so in a relatively short period of time,’ Hogan said.
The MDH on Tuesday issued an order that makes it possible for any health care professional -- doctors, nurses, paramedics and pharmacists -- to administer COVID-19 vaccines with appropriate training and supervision.
Under the order, health care providers who can already perform vaccinations may prepare and administer COVID-19 vaccines at state-designated vaccination sites.
The governor and his team said they hope to have 155,000 people fully immunized by early January.
‘While the delivery of vaccines is welcome news, I would caution Marylanders to remember that our initial allocation will only be 155,000 doses of the vaccine with the possibility of perhaps 300,000 by year's end,’ Hogan said.”
