BERLIN — Coos County’s two nursing homes have put their mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy on hold now that a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against President Joe Biden’s national vaccine mandate for health care workers.

A vaccine mandate remains in effect at all North County Healthcare System facilities including Androscoggin Valley Hospital. North Country Healthcare Systems Director for Marketing James Patry said the vaccine mandate was put in place before the federal mandate was issued.
