Dear Community Leaders and Members of Anne Arundel County,

Maryland residents continue to be faced with far too many vaccine pre-registration systems and not enough vaccine doses. County Executive Pittman continues to advocate alongside elected representatives from both political parties for transparency in dose allocations and centralization of pre-registration.

Our focus is to get every available dose administered to our most vulnerable elderly residents and to our educators, regardless of shipment delays, snow cancellations, or any obstacle that arises.

Please continue to seek vaccinations wherever you can find them, using the updated list of sites in our weekly COVID update.

Best,

James Kitchin

Office of the County Executive

Director, CECS
