Maine's Area Agencies on Aging are launching an effort to make it easier for older adults and people with disabilities to get immunizations.
The AgeWise Maine Initiative will offer clinics for the COVID, flu, and RSV vaccines throughout the state. It's targeting locations that improve access for older adults and people with disabilities, but the clinics are open to any age.
This week, clinics will be held in Sanford, Portland, Hallowell, and Fort Kent.
A searchable database of clinics can be found at https://agewisemaine.org/.
The agencies say immunization rates have been steadily declining among Medicare beneficiaries 65 and older in recent years.
