A walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinic is planned Tuesday, May 25 at the Oldtown Volunteer Fire Company at 18712 Oldtown Road SE, Oldtown, MD. The single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine will be available. Also, individuals can receive their second dose of the Moderna COVID vaccine at the clinic. No appointment is needed, but those getting their second dose of Moderna are asked to bring their vaccination card with them to the clinic.
Other upcoming walk-in COVID vaccination clinics include the following:
• Flintstone Volunteer Fire Company: Thursday, May 27
• Lonaconing Good Will Fire Company Armory: Tuesday, June 1

Like the Oldtown clinic, these other clinics will offer single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine as well as second doses of the Moderna COVID vaccine. Hours for all four clinics are 9 a.m. to noon.
Last week, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced that any Maryland resident age 18 or older who has received a COVID-19 vaccination in Maryland is eligible to win one of several cash prizes totaling $2 million. One $40,000 winner will be randomly selected each day from May 25 to July 3. Then, on July 4, a final prize of $400,000 will be awarded to one lucky vaccinated Marylander. All that is required to enter is to get a COVID-19 vaccination, and any Maryland adult who has already been vaccinated is automatically entered into the drawing.
