Vaccine Supply Update

The state of Maryland expanded its vaccine eligibility to Maryland residents age 16 and older.

Johns Hopkins Medicine is offering COVID-19 vaccinations to our patients who meet this expanded eligibility criteria. A patient is anyone who has received care at a Johns Hopkins Medicine facility within the last three years. We will also continue to vaccinate our patients and our health care personnel who meet earlier eligibility criteria set by the state of Maryland, and work with partners in the community to distribute vaccine to eligible individuals based on state guidance.

We are doing our best to vaccinate as many of our eligible patients as quickly and equitably as possible. Our vaccine supply is quite limited compared with local mass vaccination sites. Appointments may not be available immediately at our locations.

We encourage you to use all resources available to you to find a vaccination clinic. Please review our Community Resources.

Appointment Information

If you are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, have sought care at a Johns Hopkins Medicine location within the last three years, and wish to get a COVID-19 vaccination from Johns Hopkins Medicine, you can schedule your COVID-19 vaccination using MyChart.

To schedule your vaccination at a Johns Hopkins Medicine Maryland location, follow these steps:

1. Log into your MyChart account.
2. Select “Visits” from the top left navigation bar, then click on “Schedule an Appointment.”
3. Find the section titled “Tell us why you’re coming in.” Select “COVID-19 Vaccine.”
4. Follow the prompts to select your vaccination location, date and time.

If you do not see any available appointments, please check again in the coming days. We will update our MyChart appointment scheduling system as vaccine supply is made available.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept phone calls to schedule COVID-19 vaccinations at this time. We must keep our phone lines clear for people with urgent and acute medical care needs.

Appointments are required. Walk-ins are not allowed. Vaccinations are available only at our designated vaccination sites.

We are working to distribute vaccine to all eligible patients as quickly and equitably as possible.

Vaccine Availability

Because vaccine supply may vary, we encourage those who are eligible to receive the vaccine to visit the state of Maryland’s vaccination website to learn where you can get the COVID-19 vaccine. You can also call the state’s COVID-19 Vaccination Support Center at 1-855-MDGOVAX (1-855-634-6829) to schedule your vaccination at a mass vaccination site or to get information on vaccines and providers in the area. Some vaccination sites, such as the Baltimore Convention Center Vaccine Location, offer walk-up vaccinations to local residents.

If you are offered the COVID-19 vaccine by another vaccination site, please take it. You should not wait to get the vaccine from Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept phone calls to schedule COVID-19 vaccinations at this time. We must keep our phone lines clear for people with urgent and acute medical care needs. When we can schedule by phone, we will update this website with the relevant information.

Currently eligible patients ages 16 and 17 will receive a vaccination appointment when we have Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine available because this is the only vaccine currently authorized for this age group. All other adult patients will be offered one of the authorized vaccines. Johns Hopkins Medicine views all authorized COVID-19 vaccines as highly effective at preventing serious disease, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. Patients cannot choose which type of vaccine they receive.

Safety Measures

It takes at least two weeks beyond the second dose of vaccine for two-dose regimens and beyond vaccination for one-dose regimens for full protection to develop. Even after full vaccination, infection prevention measures such as wearing a mask, physical distancing and frequent hand-washing are still very important since you might be able to pick up the virus, carry it and give it to others. Learn more from our infographic, COVID-19 Vaccines: What You Need to Know.
