Gov. Larry Hogan announced the expansion of COVID-19 vaccine booster shots on Friday.
The announcement came after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved booster doses for all individuals 18-years-old and over. Those who received the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine will be able to get their booster six months after their second dose. Those who received Johnson and Johnson will be eligible for boosters two months after their shot.
“As of today, Maryland has already administered more than 800,000 booster shots, and we are immediately expanding our campaign further to include all adults,” Hogan said. “As the holiday season approaches, with more travel and more gatherings, we are encouraging all Marylanders to get a booster shot and maintain their immunity.”
