Maryland Races To Vaccinate Vulnerable Communities As COVID Variant Cases Rise

James Adams did not hesitate to get the COVID—19 vaccine at a mobile clinic in South Baltimore. He’s lost many people he loves to COVID-19. “I’ve lost count. There are a lot of hurting families that are still hurting,” Adams said. He was the 1,000th person vaccinated as part of MedStar’s mobile efforts. “I’m just glad I have it. It’s like insurance,” he said. At the University of Maryland Baltimore, another vaccine clinic opened. It is only for those who live in the city, and those eligible must be referred here by the Baltimore City Health Department.
