Havre de Grace CVS To Offer COVID-19 Vaccine

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — The CVS in Havre de Grace is one of more than a dozen locations that is administering the COVID-19 vaccine.

As of 2:45 p.m. Friday, the company reported all CVS sites in Maryland that are giving out the shot are either fully booked or do not have the vaccine supply yet.

The vaccine supply is determined by the federal government, and Gov. Larry Hogan Thursday said Maryland needed more vaccines.

CVS advised people to return to its site to schedule an appointment at any of the 14 towns in Maryland offering the vaccine:

• Baltimore
• Bethesda
• Bowie
• Dunkirk
• Eldersburg
• Elkton
• Frederick
• Fulton
• Hagerstown
• Havre de Grace
• Leonardtown
• Millersville
• Ocean City
• White Plains

"Because active stores will change regularly based on vaccine supply, CVS Health will not provide a full list of participating locations," the company said in a statement about the COVID-19 vaccine program.

Vaccines will be offered on an appointment-only basis through the CVS website or CVS app (or text "App" to CVS-APP — which is the number 287-277 — for the download).

Those who do not have online access can call customer service at 800-746-7287 starting Feb. 11. Appointments were slated to start Friday, Feb. 12.

Before scheduling an appointment, people must verify they are eligible to receive the vaccine.

Maryland is in Phase 1c of its vaccine distribution program, outlined below:

The availability of COVID-19 vaccines in Maryland is part of an initial 11 state rollout that includes locations across California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.

Vaccines will eventually be available at CVS Pharmacy locations throughout the country subject to product availability, with the capacity to administer up to 25 million shots a month.

So far, CVS has administered 54,298 doses at assisted living facilities in Maryland and 19,331 doses at skilled nursing facilities, where 165 second doses must be administered in the next week, according to CVS Health vaccination data that is publicly available.
