CONWAY — Memorial Hospital said Wednesday it is moving its community COVID-19 vaccine clinic to its primary care offices as vaccine demand has declined. March 16 will be the last day of operations for the clinic (which is open Wednesdays from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.) at the former Weather Discovery Center in North Conway Village.
Hospital spokesman Tim Kershner said some temporary workers had been hired to staff the clinic, but others will return to jobs at the North Conway hospital.
