As Maryland moves into phase 1C of its COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan, over two million Marylanders are now eligible for the vaccine.
Phase 1C expands vaccine eligibility to people over 65 and more essential workers in lab services, agriculture and manufacturing. The state government website reports that the federal government is currently providing Maryland approximately 10,000 doses daily, far below the current demand.
Because of this transition, more Hopkins affiliates are getting vaccinated. In an email to University affiliates on Jan. 22, Provost Sunil Kumar and Interim Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration Mary Miller noted the ongoing efforts to support eligible Hopkins affiliates and Baltimore residents in receiving the vaccine.

Full- or part-time Johns Hopkins University employees who earn less than $200,000 per year in base salary will receive a supplemental $500 payment in their final paychecks of 2020, a token of appreciation from university leadership in recognition of the contributions of faculty and staff under extraordinary circumstances over the past year. During this exceptionally trying time, we recognize the great sacrifices of our Hopkins workforce, and this small gesture reflects our deepest appreciation for their commitment to Johns Hopkins, to our Baltimore community, and to all we serve.
