Charles County Department of Health Provides 3rd Dose COVID-19 Vaccinations for Immunocompromised Individuals

In accordance with updated vaccination guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), community members can schedule appointments for COVID-19 vaccination at any of the Charles County Department of Health COVID-19 vaccination clinics. Registration is required and can be scheduled from any of our clinics listed below. If you need assistance scheduling an appointment you can call our COVID-19 call center at 301-609-6717 or 301-609-6777. 

Included in CDC’s recommendation for third dose recipients are people with a range of conditions, such as recipients of organ or stem cell transplants, people with advanced or untreated HIV infection, active recipients of treatment for cancer, and people who are taking some medications that weaken the immune system, and others. A full list of conditions can be found on CDC’s website. The CDC does not recommend additional doses for any other population at this time, including for those who initially received the J&J/Janssen vaccine.

It is important that residents coming for a third dose remember to bring their COVID-19 vaccination cards with them. This way, the health department can ensure that residents receive the same vaccine manufacturer for all doses in the series, and staff can record the details of the third dose on the vaccine card.

If you have misplaced or lost your COVID-19 vaccination card, Maryland residents can log on to Md.myir.net to print/view their official vaccine record. Residents who need assistance with this process can call the Charles County COVID-19 hotline at 301-609-6717.
