BANGOR, Maine (AP) A new fixture at Maine’s agricultural fairs alongside the harness racing, farm animals and food is the COVID-19 vaccination clinic. And health care workers say any dose delivered is a victory.

Relatively few shots have been given so far at fairs in Skowhegan and Bangor, but many have gone to vulnerable or previously skeptical Mainers.

Craig Moore, 50, of Sumner, rolled up his sleeve at the 203rd Skowhegan State Fair.

Moore said he’d just been told by his doctor that he should get the shot because his liver condition makes him vulnerable to the virus.

“You always hear about side effects, and with my liver failure, I’m not sure how I’ll react,” he said told the Bangor Daily News. “But my doctor told me I should.”

Clinics will continue this fair season.

A clinic run by the University of New England School of Pharmacy and Northern Light Health gave out vaccines at the Bangor State Fair. The Union Fair that begins on Thursday will offer a clinic.

The fairs are offering vaccines at a time when cases of coronavirus in the state continue to increase.
