Maine residents age 70 and older are now eligible for vaccination against COVID-19 as part of Phase 1B. On Monday, Gov. Janet Mills’ office published a list of health providers who have begun scheduling appointments for seniors 70 and older to the get the COVID-19 vaccine. Find the list here. The list will be updated as more providers set up sites and systems to make appointments. All sites will require an appointment to receive a vaccine.

If you are over 70, you may hear directly from your health care provider about how to get a vaccine or you may visit the State’s COVID-19 response website to find providers currently taking appointments. 

Please note: Because Maine’s supply of vaccine is limited, appointments may not be immediately available and will be scheduled on a rolling basis. The Portland Press Herald reported that Maine Health received 18,000 calls on Monday for appointments. Appointment availability is dependent on vaccine supply.

There is no charge for the COVID-19 vaccine, but you should be prepared to provide any insurance information and proof of eligibility at the vaccination site.

The State is in the middle of Phase 1A of its vaccination program, which covers health care workers, medical first responders, and staff and residents of nursing homes. Parts of Phase 1B may start before Phase 1A is finished. Vaccination information for other Phase 1B groups, including Maine people aged 65-69, will be posted once available. Additional vaccination sites will be added in the coming weeks. To find out if you are currently eligible, click here. If you are currently eligible under Phase 1A, contact your employer or professional association about vaccination.

Falmouth EMA is monitoring this evolving situation closely and will continue to provide updates via E-Alerts as needed and as additional information becomes available. As always, we are relying on the Maine CDC, the Governor’s office, and appropriate state agencies for guidance on this issue and encourage residents to visit Maine CDC and the State’s COVID-19 response website for the most current and up-to-date information.
