CONWAY — Dozens of cars moved through the parking lot at North Conway’s Memorial Hospital on Saturday, as staff and volunteers helped put shots in arms during the hospital’s first ever drive-thru COVID-19 vaccination clinic.
Memorial Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Will Owen said Monday that 160 people got one of three COVID-19 vaccines, including 62 adults (people aged 12 and older) and 98 children (getting the lower-dosage Pfizer vaccine for ages 5-11).
