The pre-registration vaccine portal will open at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021
Why is pre-registration being conducted early?

The Calvert County Health Department is moving towards vaccinating residents in phases 1B, 1C, 2 and 3 and is opening pre-registration for citizens in all priority groups who wish to be vaccinated.

When and how will I be notified of when I can receive the vaccine?
The Calvert County Health Department will contact you when the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available for you to arrange an appointment.
When will I be able to get vaccinated?
The goal of the Calvert County Health Department is to ensure everyone who wants to be vaccinated can do so as soon as possible. Vaccine supply is very limited, and it could be weeks or months before you are able to receive your vaccination. The Health Department is working within the state of Maryland guidelines for vaccine distribution.
A concerted effort between the Calvert County Health Department, Calvert County Government, and CalvertHealth Medical Center is in place to administer available vaccine doses as quickly as possible.
