AROOSTOOK COUNTY UPDATE: Northern Light AR Gould Hospital is holding a community vaccine clinic on Tuesday, March 2, at Northern Maine Community College.

Due the large size of the clinic and the frigid weather anticipated for tomorrow, those with appointments to get their COVID vaccine are urged to not arrive early, and if they do so, to please plan to stay in their vehicle until 10 minutes prior to their appointment. This will allow people keep people physically distant without having to stand out in the cold.
