TRACKING THE COVID-19 VACCINE Share Updated: 11:08 AM EST Mar 10, 2021 Since Maine began vaccinating residents in mid-December, the stateâs hospital groups have been at the center of the vaccination efforts.Itâs been a big shift after months of focusing on caring for patients infected with the virus.âIn the beginning, we were just talking about people that get admitted to hospitals, and it wasn t much that we could do for them and we just slowly watched people die,â said Dr. James Jarvis of Northern Light Health.Jarvis said the vaccines have been a turning point for front-line workers.On Dec. 15, the first health care workers began to receive the vaccine, including Maine Medical Center ICU nurse Danielle Poulin.âItâs exciting.

Cardinal Innovations has returned to a familiar strategy â a public relations campaign â in an attempt to keep its behavioral health oversight network intact as six of its 20 counties are in various stages of departure.
That includes Forsyth County, whose board of commissioners unanimously authorized on Nov. 12 a resolution that began the process of disengaging from Cardinal, the state s largest behavioral health managed-care organization.
The resolution said Forsyth has repeatedly addressed concerns directly with Cardinal over the years with little to no resolution. The county is actively evaluating options with other MCOs, commission vice chairman Don Martin said. It is clear this is a lengthy process.

How U.S. Government Will Handle COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Claims Is Largely a Secret
Lost in the U.S. launch of the coronavirus vaccine is a fact most don’t know when they roll up their sleeves: In rare cases of serious illness from the shots, the injured are blocked from suing and steered instead to an obscure federal bureaucracy with a record of seldom paying claims.
Housed in a nondescript building in a Washington, D.C., suburb, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program has just four employees and few hallmarks of an ordinary court. Decisions are made in secret by government officials, claimants can’t appeal to a judge and payments in most death cases are capped at $370,376.
