The number of COVID-19 vaccinations being administered in Maine has remained steady in recent weeks and some providers say they are continuing to see interest even if numbers aren’t as high as they were at the peak of vaccination efforts this spring.
An average of 1,207 shots per day have been given over the last three weeks, according to data from the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The 1,672 doses given Wednesday were the most since July 1, though vaccination efforts overall remain far below the April peak when as many as 25,000 shots were given in a single day.
