Meritus Health received a shipment of Pfizerâs vaccine Thursday morning, according to Meritus spokeswoman Joelle Butler.
Meritus, east of Hagerstown, plans to start administering the vaccine to front-line hospital workers Friday morning.
The health system is following the state of Marylandâs phased plan for vaccinations. Announced earlier this month, the plan calls for first vaccinating health care workers, nursing home residents and first responders.
As more vaccines become available, doses would be provided next to people at high risk of severe illness or complications from COVID-19, then to people working in critical infrastructure roles and people at moderate risk of severe COVID-19 illness.
