Gov. Hogan: Maryland surpasses 95% of adults vaccinated against COVID-19

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Official CDC data is showing that more than 95% of Maryland adults have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

“As we achieve another incredible vaccine milestone, I want to thank all the healthcare heroes we honor this week who have made this possible,” said Governor Hogan. “While we will continue to work to reach that last 5% of adults, we are just as focused on getting more Marylanders boosted to maximize protection against the virus and its variants.”

To date, Maryland has administered more than 11.1 million COVID-19 vaccines, including nearly 2.1 million booster shots. State health officials are continuing to urge Marylanders to get boosted for maximum protection against the Omicron variant.

Maryland is continuing to report substantial declines in all key health metrics. Hospitalizations peaked last month at just below 3,500 and have dropped to 1,111, for an overall decline of 67%. The state’s positivity rate has dropped by 80%, currently at 5.81% after peaking just below 30% last month.

Governor Larry Hogan will hold a press conference Tuesday afternoon to provide Marylanders with an update on COVID-19.
