CONWAY — Memorial Hospital is switching its online scheduling for COVID-19 vaccinations away from the state of New Hampshire portal to a new web-based system hosted by MaineHealth.
Memorial is making the switch because the state of New Hampshire as of June 1 is discontinuing first-appointment scheduling on its Vaccination and Immunization Network Interface (VINI) system.
