EPIC Pharmacies to join Maryland’s vaccine distribution network

NOTTINGHAM, MD—Governor Larry Hogan on Friday announced that EPIC Pharmacies, a group of independently-owned pharmacies headquartered in Maryland, have joined the state’s vaccine distribution network.

“Our phased, data-based COVID-19 vaccine plan calls for the number of distribution points across Maryland to continue to grow nearly every day,” said Governor Hogan. “We currently have 2,324 different distribution points from one end of the state to the other, and are thrilled to add EPIC Pharmacies to our vaccination efforts in order to further expand our reach and ensure that no Marylander is left behind.”

“As the largest group of independently-owned pharmacies in Maryland, EPIC Pharmacies are grateful for the opportunity to assist in vaccinating their local communities,” said Jeff Scher, president of EPIC Pharmacies.

“Independent pharmacies, including EPIC stores like mine are eager to get to work and help the communities that we proudly serve,” said Brian Hose, owner of Sharpsburg Pharmacy, one of the stores taking part in the program. “As someone who has made vaccinations a major part of the public health services that we offer for more than a decade, I can’t wait to be able to offer COVID-19 vaccinations to the vulnerable members of our community.”

As of Friday, nearly 300 pharmacies across Maryland are administering COVID-19 vaccines, receiving direct allocations both from the state and the federal government. Residents can find a pharmacy provider at https://covidvax.maryland.gov.
