Maryland Will Launch 6 Mass COVID-19 Vaccinations Sites Including At Six Flags America, M&T Bank Stadium

“With the anticipation that the federal government will be able to address supply chain issues, and that they will increase deliveries to the states, we have directed the Maryland Department of Health and the Maryland National Guard, to work with county leaders with hospitals and private partners to establish mass vaccination sites at six central locations statewide,” Hogan said.

Hogan said hundreds of National Guardsmen currently protecting the U.S. Capitol in D.C. will be reassigned immediately to help plan, build an launch these vaccinations sites by the end of the week.

A state testing location at Six Flags America in Prince George’s County will now become a vaccination site by Feb. 5, the governor said.

Hogan said Baltimore City’s Health Department in partnership with the University of Maryland Medical System will open a mass vaccination site at M&T Bank Stadium as soon as the state receives higher allotments of the vaccines.

However, in order to get vaccines into city residents faster, the Baltimore City Convention Center will be providing vaccinations by Feb. 5.

“The Convention Center is one of the most advanced COVID care sites in the country,” Hogan said. “We opened it in the spring as a field hospital for search capacity. We then expanded it to become our highest performing testing center. And then later to include an infusion center for groundbreaking antibody treatments. And now it will also begin to provide vaccinations to the general public.”
