COVID-19 cases on rise as Maryland enters Phase 2B for vaccines

Almost 1 million more Marylanders became eligible Tuesday to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Maryland entered Phase 2B of its vaccine distribution program in an effort to get more people vaccinated as more federal supply becomes available. Under Phase 2B, residents 16 and older with certain medical conditions are eligible to get the vaccine. In the past 24 hours, more than 55,000 Marylanders got their shots. So far, about 15.5% of the state's population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
