- NEW! Maryland Mass Vaccination Site at the Baltimore Convention Center Field Hospital opens February 5th. Vaccination is by appointment only, and no walk-ins will be permitted. Marylanders can register for an appointment at the BCCFH vaccination site online at www.umms.org/BCCvaccine. Due to a high volume of requests and limited vaccine supply, wait times between submitting a request form and receiving an invitation to schedule could be significant. Individuals without digital access and in need of assistance registering for a vaccine appointment at BCCFH can call 443-462-5511 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. This line will connect individuals with someone who can assist with entering their information into the queue for appointments.
Please keep in mind that all vaccination is by appointment only and you must be in phase 1A, 1B, or 1C to be vaccinated at this time. The Health Department will not be able to move into Phase 1C with our clinics until we have been able to vaccinate more people in 1B.
We will share updates about vaccine availability, priority groups, and vaccination plans on this page.

Safer Ways to Enjoy the Super Bowl
From the CDC
Gathering virtually or with the people you live with is the safest way to celebrate the Super Bowl this year. If you do have a small gathering with people who don’t live with you, outdoors is safer than indoors. This year, choose a safer way to enjoy the game.
Host a virtual Super Bowl watch party.
- Wear clothing or decorate your home with your favorite team’s logo or colors.
- Make appetizers or snacks with the people you live with to enjoy while watching the game and share the recipes with your friends and family.
- Start a text group with other fans to chat about the game while watching.
Attend an outdoor viewing party where viewers can sit 6 feet apart.
- Use a projector screen to broadcast the game.
- Sit at least 6 feet away from people you don’t live with.
