Robert Ganley teaches a U.S. history class at Old Orchard Beach High School on Monday. Ganley says the high school is lucky to be able to have in-person learning for all students four days a week, and when teachers can get vaccinated, other school districts may be able to expand their days of in-person learning.

Maine is not among the 26 states that have publicly released plans to vaccinate teachers against COVID-19, although Gov. Janet Mills said last week that the state’s teachers are “highly valued.”
Gabriel LaSalle, a senior at Old Orchard Beach High School, said he wants to see teachers vaccinated as soon as possible.

December has been a month of hope and concern, with COVID-19 vaccines deployed for the first time to hospitals across Maine but health officials warned that the state continues to battle “a surge on top of a surge.”
Hospitals this week received the first doses of the Pfizer vaccine and began inoculating frontline workers. The first phase of vaccinations focuses on healthcare workers in intensive care units, emergency rooms and COVID-19 wings of hospitals.

First COVID-19 vaccines arrive in Maine
ELLSWORTH One thousand nine hundred and fifty Pfizer vaccines against COVID-19 arrived in Maine this morning in “the first of a number of significant steps,” Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Nirav Shah announced Monday. The 1,950 doses were delivered to Mercy Hospital in Portland and Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor and should be administered beginning Wednesday.
“Collectively, this vaccine and the vaccination process that accompanies it will help us return to normal,” Shah said.
But it will take time. The 1,950 doses received today and the approximately 3,900 doses scheduled to arrive tomorrow and destined for several hospitals across the state is only a narrow sliver of the 2.6 million doses needed to immunize the entire population of Maine.
