Elrich Addresses Chaotic Vaccine Lines at Richard Montgomery, Quince Orchard
The coronavirus vaccination lines at Richard Montgomery and Quince Orchard High Schools were chaotic on Thursday because people with appointments were sharing their confirmation links to people who did not have an appointment.
County Executive Marc Elrich addressed the problem in a statement Friday: “It is extremely important that residents do not share the vaccination appointment links they receive with family, friends or neighbors. These links are intended ONLY for the recipient and not to share with others.”

But this is exactly what @MoCoDHHS today said, not to do. Don’t send or share appointment making links. Right now they say, they’re prioritizing 75+ yet we @fox5dc are seeing long lines of people under 75 outside of Richard Montgomery High School. pic.twitter.com/WqWQOUS3Lb
