The Maryland Department of Health released its own vaccination recommendations in lieu of the federal standards set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

All adults should get their COVID-19 vaccination this fall, according to the Maryland Department of Health. Additionally, all children between six months and two years old should get their shot and children two years to eighteen years old who are at risk.

The standards are stricter than what the CDC recommended and follow the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists.
