An Update from the Office of Community Engagement and Constituent Services (CECS)
Dear Community Leaders and Members of Anne Arundel County,

Due to the limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines, County Executive Steuart Pittman and Health Officer Nilesh Kalyanaraman, M.D., announced last week that the Anne Arundel County Department of Health will focus on providing vaccines to senior adults age 75 and over as it works through the state’s Phase 1B category. There are an estimated 40,000 residents age 75 and over within Anne Arundel County. The county continues to vaccinate frontline workers in the state’s Phase 1A category.

At this time, only people in the state's Phase 1A category and the segment of Phase 1B age 75 and over are being scheduled for appointments. People in any phase, including anyone 75 and older, can pre-register with the Health Department through this link aacounty.org/covidvax to be alerted when their phase is up for vaccinations. However, those who pre-register will not receive an automatic response. When there is availability and supply for your phase, the county will send you an invitation to select a date and time for an appointment.  Click here to read the full press release.

Best,

James Kitchin
Office of the County Executive
Director, CECS
