Calvert Health Department Expands Testing and Vaccination Hours
The Calvert County Health Department has expanded its hours for COVID-19 testing and vaccination at the Fox Run Shopping Center site (713 Solomons Island Road N. in Prince Frederick).

Testing is by appointment only, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. All tests at the Health Department test site are PCR, which are more reliable than rapid antigen tests. PCR tests are sent to a licensed medical laboratory with results typically available in 1-2 days.

Information on scheduling a testing appointment can be found online.

COVID-19 vaccinations are now administered Monday through Friday from 2:30-4 p.m. Both Moderna and Pfizer vaccinations are available. One day each week, vaccinations will be given until 6 p.m. Periodic Saturday vaccination clinics will be held at the Fox Run location. Health Department nurses also administer vaccinations at various sites around the county via its outreach van.

Dates for evening hours, outreach van and registration for all vaccination clinics can be found on the Health Department website.
