Hello,
A couple of quick updates on COVID testing and Vaccines in Maine.
Yesterday the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices endorsed the booster for children at least five months after they received their two-dose series. This would be a third dose for healthy children and the fourth dose for children who are immunocompromised. You can check with your PCP or COVID-19 Vaccination in Maine to schedule a vaccination.
Free COVID tests are available to order again through https://www.covid.gov/tests and https://www.accesscovidtests.org/ . They are also available in the front offices at your children’s schools, one box of 5 tests per student.
Thanks very much!
