YORK, Maine After state officials loosened the eligibility criteria for COVID-19 vaccinations last week, York Hospital held its first vaccination clinic Saturday that included members of the public 70 or older.
York Hospital spokesperson Jean Kolak said the clinic went well, with nearly 300 people receiving vaccines. That included 135 health care providers and first responders under Phase 1a and 161 residents age 70 or older under Phase 1b, she said.
