    Talbot Community Transmission Rate: 244.75​​​ (=total cases in past 7 days per 100,000 people). Our case rate remains in the HIGH category.

    Vaccination Progress Update: 
    On 11/3/2021, children between the ages of 5-11 years old became eligible to be vaccinated with Pfizer vaccine. Vaccine supply for this age group is extremely limited in Talbot County.
    The Talbot County Health Department received enough vaccine to vaccinate 150 children during the first week of administration (11/4/21-11/10/21).
    Our next allocation of vaccine will allow us to vaccinate 100 additional children during the week of 11/15-11/19. Vaccine clinic appointments for our health department-run clinics may be made here. Appointments for the week of 11/15-11/19 will be posted for sign up starting on 11/15.
    Vaccines for children aged 5-11 m​ay also be obtained at your local pediatrician's office or retail pharmacy (currently, only CVS and Walmart in Talbot County).

    There have been 7858​ additional or booster doses given to Talbot residents.​
