PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases was growing in Maine, but the number of people eligible for the coronavirus vaccine is also about to surge.
Maine is opening up eligibility to everyone in the state who is 16 years old or older on Wednesday. It’s by far the broadcast eligibility expansion yet. Currently, everyone age 50 and older is eligible.
The availability of shots is happening as new cases have trended upward. The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in Maine has risen over the past two weeks from 204.57 new cases per day on March 20 to 273.57 new cases per day on April 3. The seven-day rolling average of daily deaths in Maine has also risen over the past two weeks from 0.71 deaths per day on March 20 to 1.29 deaths per day on April 3.
