In photos: Portraits of newly vaccinated Mainers
Thousands of adults in Maine are being vaccinated every week, and the state's COVID-19 vaccination program will be getting a substantial boost this week, with 10,010 additional doses, a 28 percent increase. On Thursday, a vaccine clinic was held at the Waterboro Fire Department, where Northern Light Health employees administered about 130 Moderna vaccine doses, most of them second doses for older Mainers. These portraits, taken by Press Herald staff photographer Brianna Soukup, are of just a handful of the people who came to receive their vaccine that day.

Reflections on when the world changed
For some, it was the realization that students would have to stay home. Or that trying to find hand sanitizer and toilet paper had become a scavenger hunt. Or that a substance abuse lifeline was closing its doors, even if temporarily. Whatever the sign or the moment, the gravity of the deadly viral outbreak revealed itself in different ways, but the message was the same: The world was about to change. Since the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Maine on March 12, 2020, there have been more than 46,000 cases and 723 lives lost. The death toll in the United States has topped 530,000. The state remains fractured, both economically and psychologically. Thousands have lost jobs or income. Many businesses have closed. Memories of the Before Times seem distant. The effects are likely to linger for years, even as vaccines offer signs of hope. The Maine Sunday Telegram asked 10 people to reflect on what was going through their mind one year ago and how they came to realize that their lives were about to change. These are their stories.
