MaineHealth has opened COVID-19 vaccine clinics across the state and care team members are vaccinating as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. Vaccine supplies are still limited and we appreciate your patience as we work through the vaccine phases established by the state. At this time, we are only able to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to Maine residents. This does not include people who are living in the state temporarily. Proof of Maine residency will be required. This could be a Maine driver's license or state identification card, or a utility bill with your name and Maine address. Health care personnel, public safety and critical COVID-19 response personnel will be also be asked for an employer-issued ID badge, state-issued professional license or other proof of employment.
