RM site was a terrible location. I tried going there one day to pick something up for DC, and omg... traffic was backed up to almost Maryland Ave on Fleet. No traffic cop or anything. We ended up turning around and not getting what we went there for. And with kids coming back to school, they need to find a different place for vax site.
It was a fine site that was run poorly. With kids coming back then use MC Rockville. They are still not going to have more vaccines especially with the state now announcing phase 2 while Montgomery County is in 1b
The roads there don't lend itself to be a "fine" mass vax site. It was a mess. Glad they moved it.

From the Q&A
Quoting myself to ask if anybody knows who first made the announcement about the mass vaccination site.

I appreciate that it has opened in Germantown. It is economically more disadvantaged and it is also more diverse.
Uh, it won’t be open until almost May.
Meanwhile PG has already opened a second mass vaccination site, just a few miles from the Six Flags site.
Way to go, Elrich.![]()
April 27th isn’t “almost May”

“ certainly hope it is the objective State criteria not the county’s biased approach. My 91-year old mother with serious co-morbidities and who lives in Rockville finally got her first dose on the LAST day before the county reduced the age from 75 to 65. She lives in a high minority zip code but is not a minority. My 67-year old wife who is Hispanic has not only been offered a vaccination on-line, but when she didn’t respond, the county called her to “schedule a convenient time”. In the meantime, I am two years older (in the same Gaithersburg zip code), I have co-morbidities and as a male generally I have a worse outcome profile from Covid than she does as but as f this comment I have heard NOTHING from the county!
It is clear that the county has biased vaccine agenda that extends well beyond targeting “high risk” zip codes. It selects favored people within zip codes and even within families.”
I haven't done preregistration in MC bc I have no interest to be a subject of racial profiling and discrimination by our government. I wish I was wrong. It is outrageous if this kind racial discrimination happens in MC.
This reads like your wife pre- registered, you decided not to do this, and you’re outraged and deeming it “racial discrimination “ because the person who pre-registered was contacted and the person who did not pre-register was not contacted? Okaaaaaay.
