The State of Maryland has entered Phase 1B of COVID-19 vaccine distribution. In Phase 1B, all Frederick County Public Schools staff will have the opportunity to receive the vaccine. This effort is coordinated between the school system and the Frederick County Health Department. This vast undertaking will continue in the days and weeks ahead.
Phase 1B also includes citizens ages 75 and older. They have been prioritized for vaccine distribution this week. Unfortunately, there is a limited vaccine supply at this time, which will delay FCPS employees receiving it this week. Vaccinations for FCPS staff could begin next week.
We know you have questions, and many of you are anxious for vaccinations. We are committed to providing you updates when we have them. Be on the lookout for communication later this week with more details on the vaccination process.
