TurboVax helps you find a vaccination appointment at one of Maryland's mass vaccination websites.

When it's time to schedule your appointment, TurboVax will play an audible alert to get your attention.

3. In the resulting popup select a vaccination registration website.
4. Proceed through the prompts for the vaccination site like normal. TurboVax will pop in to help where it can.

6. Good luck!
