The Orioles, along with the Maryland Department of Health (MDH), announced July 1 an extension of their partnership to host on-site vaccination opportunities during home games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards throughout the 2021 regular season.
Vaccinations will be offered next to the ballpark’s COVID-19 testing site, located along the Lower Level Concourse outside Section 26, beginning on July 6, when the Orioles host the Toronto Blue Jays at 7:05 p.m. ET. All adults aged 18 and over in attendance at Oriole Park are eligible to receive a vaccine from the time gates open until two and a half hours after first pitch or the top of the 8th inning, whichever comes first. The vaccine being offered will be the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is approved for use in people aged 18 years and over.
All fans who choose to receive the vaccine at Oriole Park will receive a voucher for two complimentary Lower Level tickets, redeemable for any game through the end of the regular season, subject to availability.
The Orioles and the MDH will also continue to offer complimentary PCR testing at the ballpark’s COVID-19 testing site. The Oriole Park testing site, created in conjunction with Maryland COVID-19 Testing Task Force, will be open during all home games, from the time gates open until two and a half hours after first pitch or the top of the 8th inning, whichever comes first. Test results will be reported via text, email, or call and will usually be available within 24-48 hours. This program is a complimentary, voluntary opportunity for fans already in attendance. Testing will not be required for entry to the ballpark.
