PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Every resident of the state of Maine who is at least 16 years old is now eligible for a coronavirus vaccination.
States around the country are expanding eligibility for the shots as supply increases. Maine expanded eligibility to all adults and all 16- and 17-year-old residents on Wednesday.
Supply of the vaccine remains limited, and it may take some time to get a shot, but Mainers 16 and up can now try to schedule an appointment.
The state previously rolled out vaccines to everyone age 50 and older. Front-line healthcare workers and teachers have also received priority for a shot.
