4.16.2021 More Than 43 Percent of County Residents Have Received At Least One COVID-19 Vaccine

More than 43 percent of Montgomery County residents have received at least one COVID-19 vaccination and more than one-quarter of residents are fully vaccinated, according to statistics from the State of Maryland as of today, Thursday, April 15. The County this week joined most states in pausing use of the Johnson & Johnson (J & J) vaccines pending a medical review, but the County is doing everything possible to minimize the impact of that halted supply.

While vaccination rates are going up, confirmed COVID-19 cases, COVID-19 testing positivity rates and COVID-19 hospital bed use rates are beginning to rise as well. See the Montgomery County COVID-19 Data Dashboard for key indicators and more details.

State Thursday morning statistics show more than 458,600 residents have received at least one vaccination (43.6 percent of the County population) and 275,700 residents are fully vaccinated (26.2 percent). 

All Marylanders 16 and older are eligible for a vaccine, no matter which provider is giving the vaccination. Residents can preregister at www.govaxmoco.com for one of the County-operated COVID-19 vaccination clinics. Those without a computer or who might need help to preregister should call the preregistration helpline at 240-777-2892 for assistance.

The State’s mass vaccination sites also are accepting preregistration for anyone over 16. Residents can preregister themselves, friends or family members at covidvax.maryland.gov. Options will include the Germantown mass vaccination site on the campus of Montgomery College, as well as the new mass vaccination site located at the Greenbelt Metro Station in Prince George’s County.
