MaineHealth gave out-of-state union busters COVID vaccines
Maine officials say they will take vaccine away from hospitals that violate guidelines
Gov. Janet Mills criticized MaineHealth on Tuesday for not following guidelines, calling it an 'insult' that the state's largest health care organization gave doses to out-of-state contractors who came here to disrupt a union-organizing effort by nurses.

Last week, it came to light that Augusta-based MaineGeneral Health offered vaccine to donors when piloting the networks inoculation effort, something that administrators there said was unintended. And this week MaineHealth, which includes Maine Medical Center in Portland, came under fire after a column in the Maine Sunday Telegram reported that it vaccinated staff and contractors who have no contact with patients. Current state and federal guidelines prohibit that practice, but it previously was allowed and was carried out by other health care networks as well.
