State Health Officials Add Post-Vaccination Infection Data to COVID-19 Data Dashboard
ANNAPOLIS, MD—With the Delta variant accounting for nearly all of the new COVID-19 cases in the State of Maryland and an increase in infections among unvaccinated Marylanders, Governor Larry Hogan today announced new vaccination protocols for state employees who work in congregate settings.
Effective September 1, employees in 48 state facilities will be required to show proof of vaccination, or adhere to strict face covering requirements and submit to regular, ongoing COVID-19 testing.
“We know that right now the Delta variant accounts for nearly 100% of the new cases currently being sequenced in Maryland and it accounts for 93% of all the cases nationwide,” said Governor Hogan. “We also understand that it may cause more severe illness than earlier variants. We do need to take the Delta variant very seriously.”

New vaccination protocols will apply to state employees in the following agencies:
- Department of Health (11 state health care facilities)
- Department of Juvenile Services (12 facilities)
- Department of Public Safety and Corrections (6 detention centers and 18 correctional facilities)
- Department of Veterans Affairs (Charlotte Hall Veterans Home)
State employees in these facilities will need to receive their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by September 1. Anyone attempting to provide false proof of vaccination will be subject to disciplinary action. Read the Maryland Department of Health order.
Nursing Homes Strongly Encouraged to Institute Vaccination Requirements. Governor Hogan called on the private operators of the state’s nursing homes to institute similar vaccination requirements for their employees. If nursing home operators do not act, state health officials are prepared to take further actions if necessary.
“Just Get The Damn Vaccine.” Governor Hogan urged Marylanders who refuse to get vaccinated to reconsider their decision, citing the fact that nearly everyone currently hospitalized or dying from COVID-19 in Maryland is unvaccinated.
“Please, just get the damn vaccine,” said Governor Hogan. “The vaccines are free, safe, they work, and they are widely available everywhere across the state at thousands of distribution points, including hundreds of pharmacies and primary care providers.”
Mask Guidance. The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) continues to strongly recommend that unvaccinated individuals wear a face covering in indoor settings and situations where physical distancing cannot be maintained. Businesses and other workplaces may set their own policies to protect public health as they deem appropriate.
Post-Vaccination Data Dashboard. MDH has added post-vaccination infection data to its COVID-19 data dashboard. To date, state health officials have identified 3,836 confirmed cases of COVID-19 among fully vaccinated Maryland residents, which represents less than 0.12% of Maryland residents who are fully vaccinated.
Vaccines. Marylanders can get a free COVID-19 vaccine at any of the thousands of distribution points across the state, including hundreds of pharmacies and primary care providers, by visiting covidvax.maryland.gov or by calling 1-855-MD-GOVAX (1-855-634-6829).
Just copying his Master Biden , with the SAME bullshhht !!!!
RINO Hogan > Who Tried to STEAL Marylander’s Stimulus & FAILED !!!!
I noticed they omitted any infected data.
How many positive
How many hospitalized
How many died.
One would think those are important facts for such drastic measures
Since the vaxxed can still spread it, what’s the point of the vaxx and why are they not wearing masks?
If the vaccines work, why do vaxed people have to wear masks in some areas anyway? Why can they still get that “flu”? And how can the “flu” be transmitted from a vaxed person to someone else? How exactly do these vaxes actually work?
We don’t know and neither do they. None of the vaccines have been approved by the FDA like all other drugs have to be. They only released them on an emergency basis.
Even that dumb . . . wont accept the fact that the VACINATED are the “super spreaders” . The CDC finally admitted it. We have got to get him out of office. Is there anything he is impeachable for ????
When do we get to flush this turd…election coming up..sick of this commie fake republucan pig headed boffon
Glad to NOT be working for the state !!!!!
We have to hope for a miracle to happen to rid this administration real soon.
Just another ANARCHIST attempting to scare citizens into being controlled by government.
Does this communist idiot to stupid to know that US citizens cannot be forced to take experimental drugs and you are not required to share your medical files except ones you have documented.
If you are being forced to Vax in order to keep your job, here’s a great way to handle it.
The secret is NOT to refuse it…
A friend in the NHS is being pressured to take the jab.
‘I write with regard to the matter of potential covid vaccine and my desire to be fully informed and appraised of ALL facts before going ahead.
I’d be most grateful if you could please provide the following information, in accordance with statutory legal requirements:
1. Can you please advise me of the approved legal status of any vaccine and if it is experimental?
2. Can you please provide details and assurances that the vaccine has been fully, independently and rigorously tested against control groups and the subsequent outcomes of those tests?
3. Can you please advise of the full list of contents of the vaccine I am to receive and if any are toxic to the body?
4. Can you please fully advise of all the adverse reactions associated with this vaccine since it’s introduction?
5. Can you please confirm that the vaccine you are advocating is NOT ‘experimental mRNA gene altering therapy’?
6. Can you please confirm that I will not be under any duress from yourselves as my employers, in compliance with the Nuremberg Code?
7. Can you please advise me of the likely risk of fatality, should I be unfortunate to contract Covid 19 and the likelihood of recovery?
Once I have received the above information in full and I am satisfied that there is NO threat to my health, I will be happy to accept your offer to receive the treatment, but with certain conditions – namely that:
1. You confirm that I will suffer no harm.
2. Following acceptance of this, the offer must be signed by a fully qualified doctor who will take full legal and financial responsibility for any injuries occurring to myself, and/or from any interactions by authorized personnel regarding these procedures.
3. In the event that I should have to decline the offer of vaccination, please confirm that it will not compromise my position and that I will not suffer prejudice and discrimination as a result?
I would also advise that my inalienable rights are reserved.’
The point being though, is that they CANNOT provide that information but you’ve NOT refused…
if your vaccine is so wonderful. why are you worried about me? hogan= loser!
is he really the best the rinos have to offer us?
Why is the MVA not included? They are in contact with the public and illegals all the time?
