Prince George’s County is asking eligible residents and workers under the Phase 1c Coronavirus Vaccine Group to register in advance.
As Maryland prepares to move to the next phase of coronavirus vaccination, Prince George’s County is asking eligible residents and workers to register in advance.
“At the moment, we are asking all residents of the province and those working in the county, who are in 1C, to please complete a pre-registration form,” Angela Alsobrooks, provincial executive, said in a statement.
Those in Phase 1c include people aged 65 to 74 years; health and human service workers and public safety workers not covered in phase 1a; and essential workers at high risk for exposure, such as those working in food and agriculture, grocery stores, public transportation, and the postal service.
Those who have pre-registered will receive appointments as soon as they are available, which according to the province can take a few weeks or longer. Alsobrooks said on Twitter residents must provide proof of residence or proof of service in the province during their appointment.
The province’s health department is still vaccinating people in phases 1a and 1b.
Government Larry Hogan announced last week that the state could begin Phase 1c vaccination of coronavirus vaccines on Monday.
