County Update: Your vaccine questions, answered
[image: cp-hucker]

Dear Friend,

Rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine has gotten off to a slow and confusing
start in Maryland. There have been many questions about who is eligible,
frustration that different counties in the state are moving ahead in
Priority Groups while others are not, and exasperation from eligible
individuals who have had difficulty registering or finding providers.

All of us on the County Council share your frustrations. We are all
frustrated that the pace of vaccine distribution has been much slower than
originally promised by state officials. And we’ve expressed our concerns to
the State on a host of issues -- the inconsistency of vaccine distribution
across counties; the need to ramp up vaccinations for teachers and
childcare providers; ensuring equity in administering the supply; fixing
problems with the state’s online PrepMod registration system; and more.

Last Thursday, the Council sent a letter to Gov. Larry Hogan
<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMTAyMDIuMzQ0NDQ1NzEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5tb250Z29tZXJ5Y291bnR5bWQuZ292L0NPVU5DSUwvUmVzb3VyY2VzL0ZpbGVzLzIwMjEvTUNDb3VuY2lsdG9Hb3ZIb2dhbl9WYWNjaW5lX0phbjI4XzIwMjEucGRmIn0.UG6Gkq0lI3pXzIeaVQmM6QKey5nWg4zfMAdXgEhdLV0/s/1261672413/br/96939458010-l>
thanking him for his recent conversation with County Executive Elrich and
last week's allocation of nearly 19,000 vaccine doses for Montgomery County
residents. This allocation was distributed among several providers in the
County, including the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human
Services, Suburban Hospital, NIH, Kaiser Permanente and Giant Pharmacies.

Montgomery County has remained #1 in the state in vaccine administration --
each week we successfully administer nearly 100% of the vaccines we receive
from the State. Our health department remains committed to getting
vaccinations to our residents as quickly and efficiently as possible, but
we need help from the State to make it happen.

Montgomery County's Department of Health and Human Services can
vaccinate at least 3,000 people a day, but the amount of vaccine provided
by Maryland has not kept pace with our requests. In the letter to the
governor, we reiterated our need for doses to increase and for a more
coordinated approach to registration.

Here are some answers to questions we’ve heard a lot lately.

*Who is eligible in Montgomery County?*

The limited vaccine supply at the federal level has impacted the number of
doses we receive at the State and County level. As a result, Montgomery
County Health Department clinics are currently prioritizing our residents
in Phase 1A, which includes first responders and frontline medical staff,
and the first tier of Phase 1B, which includes residents 75 and older.
Individuals in Phase 1B and 1C can now pre-register here

to
become eligible to get an appointment through the County's Department of
Health and Human Services.

You will not receive an appointment right away after pre-registering. You
will receive regular updates, and when vaccination appointments are
available, you will receive a confirmation notification of your
appointment. It is critical that you do not share this information with
anyone else because this confirmation is only for you.The Montgomery County
Department of Health and Human Services will not honor any appointments
made by others using your designated appointment link.

*I need help pre-registering! What should I do?*

To pre-register by phone, call 240-777-2982.

*What providers in the County are distributing vaccines?*

*Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services:*

The State and the County have separate registration processes. If you are
part of Priority Groups 1B or 1C, you can pre-register

state rules - not county rules. Their registration is separate from the
County’s system. This includes:

*Why do private providers use policies different from the County clinics
regarding who is eligible?*

The State has given local health officers the authority to develop policies
and protocol for county-run clinics only.  Clinics run by the state, which
include pharmacies, hospitals and retail partners, such as Giant, must
follow the State rules.

.

I hope this provided some clarity amid the confusion. I am hopeful that the
governor will work with us to share more doses and to simplify this process
so we can focus our efforts on getting our residents vaccinated
efficiently, getting our children back in schools safely and reopening our
restaurants.

Until we receive more vaccines to get into resident’s arms and the public
health emergency is over, it is still so important to continue following
social distancing guidelines, wearing a mask, and washing hands.

Please stay safe and stay in touch!
