Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced Wednesday that seniors aged 65 and older who live in congregate settings could start getting COVID-19 booster shots immediately.

Hogan said the state had already administered over 28,000 boosters to immunocompromised Marylanders. However, he complained that the Biden administration’s guidance on booster shots has been “confusing and contradictory.”
