It is safe. It is effective. And it will save lives, Mills said in a statement.
Mills, who is 73, was vaccinated one month after the first COVID-19 vaccine went into the arm of an ICU nurse at Maine Medical Center, according to the administration.
So far, there have been 70,228 COVID-19 vaccinations in Maine, the administration said.
Currently, Maine is still in Phase 1A of its vaccine distribution plan, which includes clinical staff members, including nursing or medical assistants and support staff members who come face-to-face with patients. Changes are being made to how the vaccine will continue to be rolled out in Maine.

The @pfizer vaccine has arrived here in Maine and @NorthernLightH officials say it received 975 doses that will be going to frontline workers first. Dr. James Jarvis says this is a great day, but the pandemic is not over #NEWSCENTERmainepic.twitter.com/80DblSOFRe Jackie Mundry (@j mundry) December 14, 2020
The Mainers getting the first vaccines will be front line workers who are most likely to come in contact with a COVID-19 positive patient. These vaccines will be done in phases so not everyone in one department gets it at once in case mild side effects cause employees to be out of work for a few days.
