Fort Meade to receive COVID-19 Vaccine

By Kimbrough Public Affairs

Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center expects to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.  We anticipate a limited supply of the vaccine in this first shipment. We will be diligent in protecting the Fort Meade community by providing the vaccine to our staff and beneficiaries on a voluntary basis following the CDC guidance for prioritization.  As such, Fort Meade emergency services and healthcare personnel will be prioritized to receive the vaccine first.

We expect another shipment of vaccines in the near future as the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) coordinates its COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan to protect the U.S. population, maintain military readiness, and support the nation’s pandemic response.

We will post updates when we begin to distribute the vaccine to the overall beneficiary population.

In the meantime, please continue to properly wear masks, practice social distancing, and hand washing/hand hygiene. Stay healthy, stay informed, and stay safe!
