Over 4.9 million vaccine doses have been administered across the state as of Monday morning with 2.1 million Marylanders being fully vaccinated.

Twenty more covid-related deaths were reported Monday, bringing the total to 8,605 since the pandemic began. On Monday, the state could not update the deaths "due to a temporary outage at the Vital Statistics Administration."

"MDH will update deaths data as soon as the outage is resolved," the state said.

Hospitalizations went down by 7, dropping the total number to 953 Of those, 265 people are in ICU beds and 688 are in acute care.

The state's positivity rate went slightly up to 3.69%. The state conducted 14,345 coronavirus tests in the last day.

The state began to administer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine again in April, after the CDC and FDA lifted their pause on the vaccine due to a rare blood clot found in some women.
