Important Updates

Beginning this Friday, the state will open a series of mass vaccination sites to serve eligible residents. The first mass sites are set to open at the Baltimore Convention Center and Six Flags America in Prince George’s County. Announcements will be made as appointments become available. 

Regional mass vaccination sites will be supplemented by hospitals, neighborhood pharmacies, and county health departments. Use covidvax.maryland.gov to find a provider near you, or call 211 for assistance. Vaccinations are by appointment only, and some providers may allow you to pre-register.

Beginning on Thursday, February 11, CVS pharmacies will begin providing COVID-19 vaccinations at 18 locations in Maryland, including Baltimore, Bowie, Chester, Frederick, Fulton, Hagerstown, Ocean City, and Rockville. Appointments will become available for booking as early as Tuesday, February 9.

Do I Need to Pay For The Vaccine?

COVID-19 vaccines are provided at no cost. Vaccine providers may choose to request insurance information to be reimbursed by your insurer, but Marylanders will not receive a bill for their COVID-19 vaccination.
