  • We are only able to vaccinate people 18+ at this time. Only Pfizer is approved for people 16 and 17. The Health Department is currently offering the Moderna vaccine.
  • We will continue to prioritize people 65+ and people who are not able to register online without assistance.
  • The Health Department currently schedules 1-3 first dose clinics each week.
  • Some of these clinics may be for targeted groups.
  • Our vaccine allocation has dropped so clinic options may be limited.
  • We will share clinic links online about a week before the scheduled date to allow Carroll County residents or people who work in Carroll County to register.

Other options for COVID-19 vaccination

 
cases are rising - wear a mask, stay 6 feet apart, avoid crowds, get vaccinated when it's your turn
 
Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine:
The FDA and CDC are recommending that the U.S. pause their use of the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine due to six cases of a “rare and severe” type of blood clot. Based on the federal government’s recommendation and out of an abundance of caution, the Maryland Department of Health directs all Maryland COVID-19 vaccine providers to pause the administration of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines until further federal guidance is issued.
 
– The Health Department will pause in our use of this vaccine while it is being reviewed.
– Our scheduled J&J clinic will use Moderna instead.
– This may affect how much vaccine we receive from the state and reduce the number of people we can vaccinate right now.
– We only had one J&J clinic on March 5, more than 3 weeks ago.
– We are not aware of any reports of this side effect in Carroll County.
– This type of side effect has not been seen with the mRNA technology in Moderna or Pfizer. 
– This is an extremely rare disorder involving blood clots – less than one in a million (6 cases out of 6.8 million vaccinated); all cases are in women age 18-48; symptoms appeared 6-13 days after vaccination.
– Anyone who received the J&J vaccine who develops severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain, or shortness of breath within three weeks of vaccination should contact their healthcare provider.
