Maryland Gov. Hogan joins D.C. and Virginia leaders in urging federal officials to help vaccinate essential federal workers

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, the mayor of Washington, D.C., and the governor of Virginia sent a letter to federal leaders Wednesday that urges them to help distribute vaccines to essential federal workers across the region. The local leaders said that with more than 281,000 people who work for the federal government living in the National Capital Region, it would be difficult to prioritize getting the essential workers vaccinated because the leaders are focused on vaccinating other residents.
