Maine residents age 16 or older can pre-register for COVID-19 vaccinations and eventually schedule appointments at the website vaccinateme.maine.gov. The website is not a centralized registration for all vaccination providers in Maine. If you are having trouble or don’t have an email address or mobile phone, call the Maine COVID-19 Community Vaccination Line at 1-888-445-4111. It is open 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
