A clinic held Dec. 15 at Machias Memorial High School vaccinated 271 individuals with Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, or Pfizer vaccines. The clinic was organized by Maine Center for Disease Control (CDC) and administered by the Public Health Nursing program together with some local health care providers. “We’re grateful to the nurses, the pharmacist, and the people of the Machias region for such an outstanding turnout,” said Robert Long, CDC spokesperson. 

More clinics are planned for 2022, but those dates are not yet available.
