Maine vows to waste no COVID-19 vaccines

Read Article REGION Maine is steadily ticking upwards with its efforts to vaccinate adults against COVID-19. As of April 5, about 770,000 total vaccines have been administered. Twenty-three percent of Mainers have been completely vaccinated and 35% have received their first shot. The recent approval of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine, which requires only one shot, is helping get more people vaccinated sooner. With capacity starting to materialize, Maine’s Center for Disease Control is focused on making sure no doses of any vaccine are wasted. Once a vial of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines has been opened, the contents of the vial stay viable for only six hours.
