Baltimore Health Department receives first supply of COVID vaccines; free for uninsured, people whose insurance don’t cover shot

The updated COVID-19 vaccine will be available for free starting Friday for Baltimore adults without health insurance and those whose health insurance doesn’t fully cover the cost of the new shot. The Baltimore City Health Department announced Thursday that it received its first supply of the new COVID vaccine from the federal government’s Bridge Access Program, which provides shots at no-cost to the 25 to 30 million adults without health insurance.
