Maryland state officials promise to ramp up distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine and the state’s plan is under review for possible changes, officials told the 11 News I-Team.
In Orlando, Florida, thousands of people lined up at the convention center to receive the coronavirus vaccine, which has been offered to anyone age 65 and older.
Maryland has no such public offering, much to the disappointment of Allen Weksberg, a retired physician.
“My children, who are not Floridian, are encouraging me to travel down to get a vaccine, and that’s also disappointing. They are worried enough that they are saying, ‘Dad, take the drive. Get down there,'” Weksberg said. “In the state of Maryland, for God’s sake, I should be able to get my vaccine here.”
