ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has announced some added COVID-19 vaccination initiatives to better get shots into the arms of the unvaccinated.
The governor outlined the “No Arm Left Behind” initiatives Wednesday.
We’re launching a series of “No Arm Left Behind” initiatives to target seniors, college and university students, and the state’s largest employers in an all-hands-on-deck effort to make sure that every Marylander who wants a vaccine can get one.

He says it will involve all state agencies and a variety of private companies.
Hogan says Maryland has administered more than 4 million vaccines.
He says 82% of people over 65 have been vaccinated, and more than 55% of people over 18 have been vaccinated.
With a growing number of places to get shots, Hogan says demand is still high, but the state is having to get more creative to use its vaccine supply.
