Beginning on Tuesday, December 29th, vaccinations for New Hampshire first responders and high-risk healthcare workers, who do not work in hospitals, will begin.
According to the Associated Press, the state is set to open 13 vaccination clinics for first responders and ambulance care workers. In high population density areas, these locations will be open five days per week, with others in lower populated areas operating two or three days a week.
State health officials reported on Monday that individuals who are eligible to receive the vaccine will be notified by their professional associations, licensing boards, and other organizations. Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Lori Shibinette stated, “We are making great strides in deploying the COVID-19 vaccine to people working on the front lines and at highest risk of exposure.”
Vaccinations for NH’s first group, which includes hospital workers, nursing home residents and staff, first responders, and ambulatory care workers, are expected to be completed by mid-January 2021.
