The clinic in Sanford has administered over 100,000 doses of vaccine
After nearly two years in operation, the high-volume vaccination clinic at The Center for Shopping in Sanford will close on Dec. 29.
The York County Emergency Management Agency made the announcement on Monday. The clinic opened in March 2021 through a partnership with Southern Maine Healthcare and the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The county emergency management took over the clinic in July 2021 and has delivered over 100,000 COVID-19 vaccines.
“The outpouring of support from staff, volunteers, York County municipalities, and local agencies has been incredible and while outside of our typical emergency response, we are proud of the difference the clinic has made in York County,” said Megan Arsenault, deputy director of York County Emergency Management Agency. “Never could we have imagined the impact this clinic has had on and with our community.”
The clinic, located at 1364 Main St. in Sanford, will continue to operate Tuesdays and Thursdays between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. until Dec. 29. The clinic offers all COVID-19 vaccines to all eligible age groups. Mpox vaccines are available to eligible individuals just a few doors down at Suite 7 in the same plaza.
“The clinic was a needed emergency service to protect individuals and help us all move forward from the worldwide public health crisis. We are so thankful to everyone who has supported this effort throughout the pandemic,” said Art Cleaves, director of York County Emergency Management Agency.
