PORTLAND, Maine — Adolescents age 12 to 15 years old can now get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine after the U.S. CDC accepted health advisers' endorsed use of the vaccine in kids in that age group on Wednesday.
Pfizer's vaccine was already authorized under the Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA for those 12 and older.
In Maine, the CDC is establishing clinics at schools, and many of the major providers such as MaineHealth and Northern Light Health are already offering the shot for those 12 and up.
Retail pharmacies are also offering the shot. CVS, Walgreens, and Shaw's are offering the Pfizer vaccine to those 12 and up in Maine. Shaw's is also now accepting walk-ins.
NEWS CENTER Maine has not heard from Hannaford or Walmart.
