📰 BIDDEFORD Representative Marc Malon has released the following statement regarding Covid-19 Vaccine Updates:

 "Today, the Maine CDC issued a standing order authorizing qualified health care professionals – including pharmacists – to administer the 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine.

Under the order, Mainers no longer need to obtain a prescription through their health care provider to receive the vaccine. Mainers will be able to get the shot at pharmacies, clinics and health care offices across the state.

While this order will make the vaccine more accessible, it will still likely take time for providers and pharmacies to receive the inventory necessary to provide widespread vaccinations."
