AUGUSTA — Governor Janet Mills announced Thursday all Maine residents age 16 and older will be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine beginning Wednesday, April 7. The acceleration of Maine’s vaccination timeline by a week and a half comes as Maine is expected to receive a significant increase in vaccine supply from the federal government. Vaccination for residents age 16 and older had previously been scheduled to begin April 19. “Maine continues to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible. With the Federal government significantly increasing our supply of vaccines, it is appropriate to accelerate our timeframe and make all Maine people eligible beginning next Wednesday,” said Governor Janet Mills. “While this is a great step forward, Maine people should keep in mind that even though they are eligible it will still take time to get an appointment and get a vaccine. We will continue to work with vaccine providers across Maine to get shots into arms as quickly as we can.”
