Questions & Answers

What if I need to change my 2nd vaccine dose date?

Trisha Daugherty | Oct 28, 2021
Bruce Ford | Oct 28, 2021

Emails from the health department will explain what to do and how to do it in order to receive the shots without unforseen delays or other hitches in what seems like a confusing, complicated process. These emails are informational directions to covid vaccine registrants to keep us informed with the most important details and answers to frequently asked questions, programmed to be sent in a step by step order along the way in the four month vaccination procedure. Some of the messages are also general covid updates and reminders of the things that registrants must accomplish, such as confirmations we must make to appointments we must keep or perhaps to change, and directions to vaccination locations.

Try an urgent clinic, such as CVS' minute clinic. I find they give good health care and advice for several vaccinations.

rita quarles | Oct 28, 2021
Howard County Health Department | Oct 28, 2021

Hello Thank you for your email. While the State has entered Phase 1C, the Howard County Health Department remains in Phase 1B due to limited vaccine supply and continuing high demand for vaccine. We continue to prioritize Howard County residents 75+, childcare/educators, and developmentally disabled populations with our limited doses. If you have not done so already, please complete the appropriate vaccine interest form on our website to receive notifications when vaccine appointment open for your group: https://bit.ly/HoCOVIDVaccine. There is no timeline for when we estimate vaccine supply allowing us to move into Phase 1C. The State has begun to prioritize its own mass vaccination sites and local pharmacies/providers for vaccine, rather than local health departments. Please visit the State vaccine website for more information about sites across the region where you may be immediately eligible for vaccine: covidvax.maryland.gov. Appointments statewide remain limited at this time.

At this time, the Health Department is vaccinating Phase 1A. Howard County residents 75 and older are in Phase 1B. Due to limited vaccine supply, there is no timeline for when we will be able to begin vaccinating Phase 1B. When vaccine is more broadly available, the Health Department will provide broad public communication to ensure that those who are eligible to receive the vaccine know how to register and where to receive it.
