Montgomery County, Maryland, health department officials say the first offerings of appointments for kids 5 to 11 years old to receive their COVID-19 shots over the weekend were snapped up within 45 minutes after slots were made available.

Mary Anderson, spokesperson for the county’s Department of Health and Human Services, said the county is working to make sure that when clinics are announced, there will be an adequate supply of vaccines.

When vaccines were first made available, officials at the state and local levels in Maryland worked hard to overcome any vaccine hesitancy on the part of residents.

In Montgomery County, that included working with community partners, who fanned out into pockets of the county to answer questions and provide added information to people who were skeptical of the vaccines, didn’t speak English or didn’t have access to clinics or health care.

The county launched an aggressive public service campaign to reach Spanish speakers, introducing residents to “Abuelina,” a grandmother figure who chats about the benefits of getting vaccinated with her granddaughter Valentina.

“Please do not kill your children.”

Hopefully, the children didn’t inherit their parents’ stupid gene.

Don’t take the vaccine. The side effects are out of control. The vaccine kills. and kills a lot. We are at war.

You don’t have to tell ME that. NFW will I ever get one. The whole Covid and “vaccine” issue is like a religious cult. Green Kool-Aid in a syringe.

These parents who have their babies injected with God-only-knows what are guilty of child abuse.

A friend of mine said while at the doctors office, people were bringing very Young children in to be vaccinated.

So sad
