The Garrett County Health Department has announced that Walgreens is the only location in Oakland that has the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine (as of this week) — the only vaccine approved for 16 and 17 year-olds. Please direct questions to the GCHD or Walgreens.

I personally received my second dose vaccine this week. I’m doing well.

Walk-ins for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccination will be accepted TODAY, April 22, at the MEDCO Building in the McHenry Business Park from 10:15 to 11:45 a.m.
