I got mine ten minutes away from my home. No way would I drive to Salisbury.

I am tempted, but if I have to go to Salisbury then I will just go to rehoboth de and get shot there and check on 2nd home. I really don’t want to drive 3 hours to de for vaccine. Why is fairfax county so slow? High population I guess.

Wow, if I lived in Fairfax and had a second home in Delaware I would’ve been to Salisbury already. just go on a Friday, get the shot, keep going, and then spend the weekend there. Repeat three weeks later. It’s not exactly on the way but it’s pretty close. We have a second home in New Jersey and got vaccinated there a month ago.


This what I did, though I came from Bethesda, got the shot in Salisbury (in and out in approximately 17 minutes, including the 15 minute post-shot observation period), and continued on to Bethany, which is 50 minutes away. I spent my money on fries and frozen custard in DE, so no joy for Hogan. To the prior PP, Deleware was not vaccinating non-residents as of a couple weeks ago, so double-check that before deciding.


Maybe that is what I will do then. Does Salisbury vaccinate on Saturday?



Yes on Saturday and Sunday. Just go on massvax.Maryland.gov and pick your appointment time.

Thank you. Do I have to wait until I receive an email from doing the pre-registration?


Another DC resident here. Yes, you have to wait if you pre-registered. However, you can go directly to the MD mass vaccine website listed in the posts above and you can make an appointment. I pre-registered and didn’t receive any call or email to schedule an appointment. I just made my appointments at the Salisbury site.

Just made my appointments, although not thrilled about having to drive to Salisbury twice.

Preregistering has done nothing for me but if you check mdvax.info or even just call the M and T site you might find something.

It’s a stupid effing system though that has all of us calling checking 15 different websites


Go to the mass vax site - https://massvax.maryland.gov/ - enter in Salisbury or Hagerstown or Greenbelt or M & T. Know a ton of folks who got J & J at Hagerstown over the weekend.



When I go to that site I’m only given the choice of Hagerstown or Salisbury. M&T is scheduled elsewhere and AFAIK no one can self-schedule for Greenbelt


Put in greenbelt instead of your zip code and multiple sites show up.


What the actual F? I am so much closer to Greenbelt than Hagerstown or Salisbury, why do I need to learn this hack from DCUM?

Eff you Hogan

There was a food bank and vaccination mini clinic at Lakeforest today.

Because people in Western Maryland also need vaccines.

There have been easily available appointments at CVSs in western Maryland for over a month.

All the MD vaccine hunter FB groups have no mentions of it.

Like others, I don't want to drive to Salisbury. I'd prefer the 2 dose but I guess I could drive to Hagerstown for the one dose. It's one hour away, so not brutal.

I just feel like all of us who chose Germantown got screwed over and I'm pissed.



Call and see if you can change your preference. Everyone I know who put Greenbelt or Six Flags as their first choice is getting appointments. You can also go to the M&T stadium in Baltimore as a walk-up or call them directly for an appointment.


I was told you can not change your preference. You need to re-register. Some even recommend registering multiple time with several different first preferences. I agree the demand for Germantown must be huge. I have heard nothing and decided to drive the Hagerstown over the weekend. I resent that Hogan can no figure out a way to get more shots to this area.


I re-registered and changed my preferences to Greenbelt and Six Flags. But still angry that there is an f-ing ghost site that was supposed to be up and running a week ago and is not.

Plenty of shots avail in Seaford, DE, on the way to Rehoboth.
