Montgomery County Council meeting, Jan. 19, 2021.
Montgomery County will likely not move to COVID-19 vaccination Phase 1C next week, officials discussed at a council meeting Tuesday.
Last week, Gov. Larry Hogan announced the state will move to Phase 1B of its vaccination plan on Monday, to include residents ages 75+, residents in assisted/independent living, including behavioral health group homes/group homes for those with developmental disabilities, K-12 teachers and support staff, and childcare providers. Hogan also announced that Phase 1C will begin the following Monday on Jan. 25, to include all residents ages 65-74.
On Tuesday, Montgomery County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Director Dr. Earl Stoddard said it is not feasible for the county to move to Phase 1C next week.
Dr. Annette Pham, president of Montgomery County’s Medical Society says her organization has also received many inquiries from community physicians over the last few days.
“I think it s been people looking on social media, seeing that our physician colleagues in Virginia and D.C. are already getting vaccinated, she said.
She said the vaccination process is now moving forward. Montgomery County received vaccination information this week, and physicians started making their appointments.
It’s not only non-hospital based physicians who are trying to get vaccinated.
Dentists in Maryland are also scrambling for information about how to get vaccinated.
