90% of adult Marylanders at least partially vaccinated, per CDC
MARYLAND – The CDC says 90% of all Marylanders 18 years old and older have now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Governor Larry Hogan is calling the milestone a major accomplishment but is still calling on Marylanders to get their shot.
“As part of our commitment to leave no arm behind, we will work to get that last remaining 10% vaccinated,” he said. “This continues to be the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself, your family, and your fellow Marylanders.”
On Thursday, the governor announced that Maryland has expanded eligibility for booster shots to include all Marylanders 16 years old and older. To date, the state is reporting about 1.2 million booster shots administered. Nearly 60% of the state’s eligible seniors have received a booster shot.
