PORTLAND, Maine — MaineHealth announced Tuesday that it will require COVID-19 vaccination for all care team members, with very few exceptions, as a condition of employment as of Oct. 1.
This announcement comes as the number of new COVID diagnoses around the nation has been increasing once again, with many of the infections being linked to the Delta variant of the virus. In New Hampshire, the numbers have risen from a low in the 20s in mid-June to numbers averaging over 100 in recent days and similar numbers have been reported in Maine.
