Is Covid ramping back up on Baltimore? What does up to date on a covid shot actually mean?

According to the Baltimore City Health Department’s Covid Dashboard (https://coronavirus.baltimorecity.gov/) there may be an increase in cases over the past 14-days, but overall hospitalizations and deaths are low and there is no reporting requirement for Covid and testing is not being done as routinely. Therefore, I would not be too alarmed.  Nonetheless, for persons who are recommended and eligible to get a Covid booster (or persons who may have never been vaccinated against Covid), I would recommend that they seek vaccination, especially if there are plans for travel during the summer.

 

The CDC’s information for staying up to date with vaccination is located here. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html
