Maryland Mandates COVID-19 Vaccines At Nursing Homes, Hospitals
About 80 percent of Marylanders who are 18 and older have been vaccinated.
To prevent the spread of the delta variant of the virus, the governor said the state's health department would be issuing orders at two types of facilities — hospitals and nursing homes.
Vaccination protocols will be instituted for all staff in all Maryland hospitals and nursing home employees, effective immediately, according to Gov. Hogan.
Employees must show proof of vaccination, with their first shot by Sept. 1, or adhere to regular screening and COVID-19 testing, based on the new hospital and nursing home mandate from the Maryland Department of Health.
