Nearly half of Montgomery County, Maryland’s eligible population has been fully vaccinated, and health officials say that with the announcement of expanded use for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for some children, the county could reach its benchmarks for reopening by the first week of June.
Dr. Earl Stoddard, director of the county’s Office of Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security, estimated that age group represents between 35,000 to 40,000 residents. If that group is vaccinated in large numbers, the county could approach the 60% vaccination rate required to reopen under the county’s health requirements.
Montgomery County Health Officer Dr. Travis Gayles noted that the drop-off in the number of people getting their vaccinations is in the 20 to 39 age group. He made an appeal to adults during Tuesday’s county council session.

Senators Ciera Thomas, Allison Fine, Bryson Henriott and Will Harris authored the bill to further codify the Senate staff with an intent to clearly explain the purposes of the Senate staff positions and make the Legislative Branch more effective.

Senators Will Curvin, Kendall Henry and Connor Green, however, openly spoke and debated in favor of the bill, saying that codifying staff positions would increase studentâs accessibility to SGA.
