When can I get vaccinated?
The supply of COVID-19 vaccines is limited, so they must be distributed in a phased approach. This approach is subject to change as Maine receives new vaccination guidance. Please visit Latest Updates and the FAQs for more information.
Because it will take months for enough vaccine to be produced for people in the United States, Maine is following vaccine priority recommendations from a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory group. The U.S. CDC has not yet finalized these recommendations, and future adjustments are expected. As vaccine availability increases, these recommendations are expected to expand to include more groups.
Phase 1
1a: Health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities
1b: People age 75 and older and frontline essential workers
1c: People ages 65-74 , people ages 16-64 with high-risk medical conditions, and other essential workers
Phase 2
All people ages 16 and older who are not in Phase 1, with vaccine starting to become available to the general public.
Information for the Public
Although the vaccine is here, COVID-19 remains a serious public health crisis. While the vaccination process is underway, Maine people should continue to wear masks (PDF), practice physical distancing and avoid gatherings at all times.
Information for Vaccinators
Maine CDC is working to ensure the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine in Maine. These resources are available to assist and inform you about Maine’s COVID-19 vaccination efforts, and will be updated regularly.
