Maryland State statistics regarding COVID-19 vaccinations show that, as of Thursday morning, March 25, more than 292,300 Montgomery County residents (27.8 percent of the total population) have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The statistics show that 150,100 residents (14.3 percent of the population) are fully vaccinated.

While the number of people receiving vaccination continues to increase, confirmed COVID-19 cases, COVID-19 testing positivity rates and COVID-19 hospital bed use rates are generally going down. See the Montgomery County COVID-19 Data Dashboard for details.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced this week that a State mass vaccination site will open at the Germantown campus of Montgomery College. In addition to the Germantown site, the Governor announced five other new mass vaccination sites.  In total, there will be a dozen sites throughout Maryland by the end of April.

The Montgomery College site will open the week of April 5. Residents can preregister for State mass vaccination clinics online or by calling 1-855-MDGOVAX (1-855-634-6829).

All Maryland residents age 60 and older can now preregister for vaccination at sites operated by the County health department. The County wants to remind residents that it will take some time before there is enough vaccine for everyone, so eligibility and preregistration does not mean a person will get an appointment immediately. 

The health department is continuing to vaccinate all essential employees and residents age 65 and older. The County is trying to get doses to residents in zip codes that have been heavily impacted by COVID-19 deaths and to those who have difficulty accessing vaccinations.

The County health department is encouraging residents to preregister with the State and with the County—and to take the first vaccination appointment offered at any clinic.

The County is improving its preregistration system and now has the ability to have residents who have been vaccinated to cancel preregistration for a County-run clinic. Completing this form will remove a person from the County’s preregistration list and streamline the ability for others to get appointments.

As more residents get vaccinated, it is still important for other residents to get tested. Testing helps health officials track the spread of COVID-19 in the community.  There are free testing clinics every week throughout the County.
