COVID-19 Vaccinations for Teachers in NH to Begin Next Week

Vaccinations for teachers and school staff members in New Hampshire will begin next week, reports the Associated Press.

At a press conference on Thursday, Governor Chris Sununu stated that Phase 2A of NH’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout includes approximately 50,000 teachers, school employees, and childcare workers. Reportedly, the plan was always to have this group vaccinated by the end of May, but limited vaccine supply made this unlikely.

However, now that a third vaccine is available and distribution has increased, public health networks will begin administering clinics for school districts beginning on March 12th. Beginning on March 17th, teachers and other staff will become eligible to book vaccine appointments at existing public vaccination locations.

Of the push to get school staff vaccinated, Sununu stated, “They were next in line, so we’re just going right to it.”
