Heartland Community Health Center received its anticipated 1,000 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at 9 a.m. Tuesday and began vaccinating Tier 1 health care workers slightly before 11 a.m., according to the health center’s leader.
Robyn Coventon, CEO of Heartland, said vaccine distribution was taking place at the health center, 346 Maine St., Suite 150.
