Montgomery County Councilmember Evan Glass tweeted this afternoon (December 31, 2020) that MoCo has distributed almost 3,000 Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in the last 48 hours, in addition to the Pfizer vaccine which has been making the rounds with hospital frontline staff across the county.

It also appears that nursing homes will be receiving doses through a direct partnership with retail pharmacies in the area; Glass noted that this process was being coordinated directly by the state of Maryland.

Glass clarified that MoCo’s ability to distribute the vaccine effectively is directly tied to Maryland’s to distribute vaccines directly to MoCo; reporting yesterday (December 30) in the Baltimore Sun noted that more than 80% of MD’s vaccines that are on hand had not yet been administered.
