A sign that reads “Covid-19 Vaccine Makers Have No Liability” can currently be seen hanging on the Muddy Branch Road Bridge over I-270.

We have been told “The banner itself is in protest of 1) Manufacturers not having the same liability standards as other pharma companies, and 2) Mass vaxination being a necessity for our county and nation to fully reopen.”


Education

Adam Lederer and Nicholas Fettig met when they were students in the Digital Design & Development magnet program at Argyle Middle School. Now, they’ve created MoCoVax.com – a website committed to notifying citizens of Montgomery County when and where Vaccines are available. Adam is now a junior at Clarksburg High School and Nicholas is a junior at Wheaton High School.

We spoke to them last night and asked about the reason they decided to create this website. Adam told us there are similar sites, but none are specific to Montgomery County and none of them work as fast as their site does, which virtually contains a live update for several vaccination sites in the county, including Walgreens, CVS, and Adventist Health Care.
