May 25, 2021 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement today applauding the Greenbelt Mass Vaccination site for getting thousands of vaccines into the arms of Prince Georgians. The mass vaccination site will close one week from today, on Tuesday, June 1. Congressman Hoyer played a key role in bringing the site to Prince George's County. In February, Congressman Hoyer urged the Biden Administration to set up a federally run vaccination site in Prince George's County to meet the needs of families in the County and improve lagging vaccination rates."The Greenbelt Mass Vaccination site has played an essential role in ramping up equitable vaccinations in Prince George's County and in our region, with well over 100,000 vaccinations administered since the facility opened on April 7," said Congressman Hoyer. "I was proud to advocate for a FEMA-run mass vaccination site in Prince George's County to help eliminate the equity gap in vaccine access."Today, Maryland is seeing a sharp decline in COVID-19 infections and deaths," Congressman Hoyer continued. "Thanks to the outstanding efforts of volunteers, staff and servicemembers at the Greenbelt site, our communities are closer than ever before to defeating this virus. Vaccinations remain free of charge and walk ups are still available at this location through June 1. With one week remaining until the site shuts down its operations, I encourage all Marylanders to get vaccinated as soon as possible."The COVID-19 vaccine is free at the Greenbelt mass vaccination site and is available now without an appointment. The site is currently offering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as well as second-dose Pfizer vaccinations. Marylanders 12 years of age and older are eligible for the vaccine. To learn more, go here.
