Some doctors believe that if COVID-19 vaccine distribution stays at its current pace, case numbers could spike going into the spring.
At the Maryland State Fairgrounds, success against COVID-19 is just on the horizon. I can tell you, at this point, now I can ramp up to 1,000 or more (vaccines) per hour, only at this site, Baltimore County Health Officer Dr. Gregory Branch said. Baltimore County is not only ready to ramp up here, we can ramp up at multiple sites. The only thing we are waiting for is vaccine. Once we get additional vaccine, we will be able to do more people.
