AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) The Augusta Civic Center in Maine is slated to pull double duty this week as the host of the Maine Legislature and a coronavirus vaccination clinic.

The legislature has been using the civic center to facilitate easier social distancing. The legislature was slated to convene at the venue on Tuesday, when it was expected to take up the biennial budget proposal.

MaineGeneral Medical Center was also scheduled to hold a continuing vaccination clinic at the facility. Maine Senate President Troy Jackson of Allagash and Chuck Hays, president and chief executive officer of MaineGeneral Health, said they were confident that the civic center could accommodate the two events simultaneously.

“We’ve been working with legislative leadership and the state of Maine to ensure that both the legislative session and the community vaccination clinics can occur at the same time in the same building,” Hays said.

MaineGeneral said it has provided more than 16,300 coronavirus vaccinations, and 14,700 of those have been provided at the civic center.
