Baltimore Mayor Scott Asks To Buy 300K Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccines Directly To City

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott is asking Johnson & Johnson to sell 300,000 of its vaccine doses directly to the City as soon as they are approved by the FDA. In a letter to Johnson & Johnson’s CEO, the mayor said should the City be able to buy the doses, he will establish a subcommittee of the City’s Vaccine Distribution Task Force with Johnson & Johnson representatives included as well as City health department officials and community leaders.
