First Shipment of COVID-19 Vaccine to Arrive in NH Next Week

According to New Hampshire health officials, the state is expected to receive 12,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in a shipment next week, reports the Associated Press.

Governor Chris Sununu stated during Thursday’s press conference that Perry Plummer, the former Department of Safety Assistant Commissioner, will be helping to oversee distribution. NH’s vaccination game plan aims to prioritize healthcare workers, nursing home residents, and first-responders, which all together will be about 100,000 citizens. Sununu states that the first shipments should be enough to reach 10,000 to 40,000 of these individuals.

The state of NH is seeking volunteers to help administer the vaccine such as; interpreters, security, and transportation. Those interested in volunteering, please visit nhresponds.org.
