When can I get vaccinated?
Due to the limits on vaccine supply, Maine is using a phased approach to providing vaccines. While vaccination is planned to proceed consecutively through the groups and phases below, flexibility in order is expected to ensure Maine maximizes every dose it receives.
Maine is currently in Phase 1a.
Given the limited supply, only Maine residents may receive a vaccine in Maine at this time.
Phase 1a: December through January
- Health Care Personnel Needed to Preserve Critical Health Care Services
- Residents and Staff of Long-Term Care Facilities
- Other Patient-Facing Health Care Personnel
- Public Safety Personnel
- COVID-19 Response Personnel
Phase 1b: February through April
- Older Mainers
- Adults of all Ages With High-Risk Medical Conditions
- Certain Critical Front Line Workers
Phase 1c: May and June
- Other Critical Frontline Workers
Phase 2: June and Beyond
- Persons aged 16-64 not otherwise eligible in an prior phase.
Read detailed descriptions of each phase to determine when you are eligible for vaccination.
