The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention has launched a website designed to help residents register for a coronavirus vaccine.

State health authorities have said the registration website isn’t designed to supplant the registry systems already in place from health care providers such as MaineHealth and Martin’s Point. Residents who use it are asked to enter some brief biographical information.

The website states that “all Maine residents can pre-register now, so that when it is your turn, we can contact you to provide options.”

Everyone age 50 and older is eligible for the vaccine. Eligibility expands to everyone 16 and over on April 19.
