Hi Linda, keep watching our website and social media. We will share information with everyone about how to sign up to get the vaccine as soon as their priority group is eligible.

I am 67 years old with severe lung issues (copd/enzyme) - when and where would I get the 1st dose of the vaccine. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Call your local office and see if it's even available in this area.

In general, we prefer for people to get their second dose where they got the first. We get a certain amount of second doses automatically based on the number of first doses we give. If your mother-in-law is unable to get her second dose in Allegany, please contact us through our website (http://health.frederickcountymd.gov) or message us through Facebook (http://facebook.com/fchealthdept) so we can follow up with you directly.

Hi Linda, we will email you your appointment reminder.

Hi Rita, we will email you to confirm your appointment. Thanks!

I went thru a issue similar to that and i tried to get the land lord to fix the problem with no luck. So i went to the health dept and they came and took pics and met with the land lord and advised that untill the issue was addressed, i was not to pay the rent to them but take it to the health dept . i could not be evicted or charged for this . long story short, the land lord didn't take this matter seriously and the health dept condemned the property and the land lord was made to pay hotel fees untill i found a new place and then they had to pay 1st mo and sec dep for the place i did find. I hope this helps and maybe can show u what ur next steps could be......☺
