Younger teachers eligible, but can t get COVID vaccines at MaineHealth just yet
The scheduling system for the largest health system in Maine still doesn t have a way to recognize the latest eligibility criteria.
SANFORD, Maine Just because state officials deem you eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine doesn t mean the vaccinators are ready to give you a dose.
That s the reality facing teachers 59 and younger who have tried to book an appointment with MaineHealth s mass vaccination center in Sanford in the days since Gov. Janet Mills announced all school staff and licensed child care providers, regardless of age, are now eligible.
Renovation of an office building in the York County village of Springvale is expected to provide much-needed space to meet pressing demand seen by a growing occupational therapy practice.
Valerie Grondin bought 25 Butler St. from Denlaw Realty LLC for $290,000. Springvale is part of the city of Sanford.
Suzanne M. McKechnie of Investcomm Commercial Group brokered the deal, which closed Jan. 4.
Renovations are almost done and the plan is to open March 15, said Grondin.
Grondin was 5 when her family moved to Sanford from Massachusetts in 1990.
“I knew I wanted to be an occupational therapist since I was 11 years old,” she wrote on her website. “My younger sister received OT services and I loved watching her play as a way to grow and develop. “
