Public safety personnel and health care workers who were not eligible in earlier phases
Based on state guidance, Marylanders age 65 and up must receive priority over all other groups. People who qualify for phase 1C based on their occupation should check with their employers about plans for vaccination, the Maryland Department of Health advises. By opening Phase 1C, we are making vaccines available to more of the state s most at-risk populations, Acting Health Secretary Dennis R. Schrader said in a statement Monday.
Marylanders in phases 1A and 1B remain eligible, officials said, including health care workers; teachers and school support staff; and residents and staff of congregate facilities. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities also qualify, and those living in group homes and other congregate facilities will be prioritized, state health officials said.
