Vaccinations under way at Valley Street Jail
Update: Wednesday, May 5, 3:11 p.m.
COVID-19 vaccinations are underway in the state's largest jail, located in Manchester. The Hillsborough County House of Corrections, known as the Valley Street Jail, says of this week that about 100 people have received the vaccine.
Jails and prisons in New Hampshire have seen significant outbreaks of COVID-19 in the last year, but people incarcerated there weren't prioritized in the state's vaccination rollout.
Many became eligible last month, as the state expanded vaccine eligibility to the general population.
Last week the National Guard administered shots to people incarcerated at Valley Street Jail - and around of half of population is now at least partially vaccinated
