A Bloomberg Magazine report found Maryland is the slowest state in the nation to distribute its allocated vaccine doses.
Reports indicate Operation Warp Speed’s vaccine rollout is off to a slower than expected start. The Trump administration projected it would vaccinate 20 million Americans by year’s end. With less than two days in the year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports just over 2.5 million people have received their first dose.
The Bloomberg report, which reviewed Maryland’s vaccination data between Dec. 14 and Dec. 21, found the state used only 10.9% of its allocated doses during that time frame.
In a statement sent to 11 News, the Maryland Department of Health said the state is ramping up its vaccinations. But the MDH said the state has only administered 19.2% of its supply. As of Wednesday morning, 36,669 Marylanders received their first dose of either Moderna or Pfizer’s vaccine, 8,052 of whom got their first doses in the last day.
The MDH said it expects, with the arrival of this week’s vaccine allotment, all essential front-line hospital workers will be able to get vaccinated.
“The state of Maryland just had its biggest day of vaccinations (Tuesday, 12/29) with more than 8,000 vaccines administered in a single day as our hospitals, pharmacies and local health departments are pushing the vaccine out as fast as they can. COVID-19 vaccinations in Maryland are ramping up fast with a rate of 19.2% administered.
Guess this is Trump’s fault Hogan
What do you think communism will look like ? It’s like having a virus to shut freedom down without the virus
Hogan’s heroes , he’s done it again , the Maryland dictator or should I just say dic for short.
This guy is no different from the NY leaders…. losers
What happened Hogan? You proactive at making a deal for masks with Korea. You gloated over that one. Oh, that’s right, I guess there’s no kick back money in the vaccine for you. So why give a fk, right? You asshole.
