ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) -- More than two million Marylanders are now fully vaccinated against Covid-19 as the state reports declines in both hospitalizations and the positivity rate, according to data released Saturday by the health department.

Over 4.8 million vaccine doses have been administered across the state as of Saturday morning.

Coppin State University partnered with the City Health Department and The Divine Nine Baltimore Metro Area to host a vaccination clinic Saturday morning.

"We want to make sure that as a University within the community, and for the community, that we are here to meet the needs of our community," said Anthony Jenkins, President of Coppin State University.

Maryland added 939 new coronavirus cases Saturday and 20 more Marylanders have died from the virus.

Hospitalizations are down by 33 to 1,009. Of those, 265 people are in ICU beds and 744 are in acute care.

The state's positivity rate went down to 3.7%. The state conducted 39,598 coronavirus tests in the last day.

Since the pandemic began in the state there have been 448,340 confirmed COVID-19 cases. At this time, 8,575 Marylanders have died.

As of Saturday morning, there are 2,093,826 Marylanders fully vaccinated for the virus. The state has administered 4,848,228 doses so far. Of those, 2,754,402 are first doses, with 120,013 administered in the last day. They have administered 1,903,703 second doses, with 105,456 in the last day.

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

A total of 190,123 Marylanders have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, 4,409 in the last day.

This week, Governor Larry Hogan and the City of Baltimore announced the lifting of the mask mandate.

"I'll probably still wear mine to respect others," said Durrell Loney.

"It depends on each person, right? So, for me, it depends on each person, but it is lovely to see people smile," said Laura Flynn.

Lura Bobbitt said she hopes the City takes a more cautious approach to reopening.
