The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) today announced the continuation of the GoVAX Summer Tour with dates in August. The events continue to bring free mobile vaccine clinics and vaccine outreach to cultural and community events and popular destinations across Maryland.
“It is now easier than ever to get vaccinated throughout the state and what a better time to do so than when at an event with friends and family,” said MDH Secretary Dennis R. Schrader. “These fairs, festivals, National Night Out, and Educators and Cultivators events are wonderful opportunities to support your community and get vaccinated—it will keep you, your family, friends, and countless Marylanders safe from COVID-19 and highly contagious variants.”
