CONWAY — The Memorial Hospital vaccine clinic at the former Weather Discovery Center in North Conway Village is now offering COVID-19 vaccines to individuals as young as 12 years old and is expanding access by accepting walk-in and call-in appointments for all eligible ages.
Hospital officials made the announcement Thursday as demand for first-dose appointments for the vaccine have begun falling off.
