Montgomery County has opened preregistration at County-operated COVID-19 vaccine centers for all County residents aged 16 and older.

As more vaccines come into Maryland, residents also can continue to preregister for State mass vaccination clinics online or by calling 1-855-MDGOVAX (1-855-634-6829). Residents are encouraged to preregister with the State and with the County—and advised to take the first vaccination appointment they are offered at any clinic.

April is Minority Health Month

By aahpadmin00 on April 5, 2021

April is National Minority Health Month, and this year, AAHP is partnering with the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health in focusing on the disproportionate impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on African Americans (and other racial/ethnic minorities and American Indian and Alaska Native communities). As we work to bring this pandemic to an end, more African Americans getting vaccinated counts as a critical measure to reduce the disproportionate impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on African Americans nationwide. ⁠

February is American Heart Month

By aahpadmin00 on February 1, 2021

Did you know that people who have close relationships at home, work, or in their community tend to be healthier and live longer? One reason, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is that we’re more successful at meeting our health goals when we join forces with others.
