CONCORD â There have now been eight deaths due to COVID-19 after the individuals were fully vaccinated in New Hampshire, all people over the age of 60 since Feb. 1, according to Laura Montenegro, spokesman for the state Department of Health and Human Resources.
Of the people who died from COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated, four were between the ages of 60 and 79 and four were 80 or older, she said. Montenegro responded via a series of emails from InDepthNH.org and said no state medical expert was available for further questions.
She said four of the eight breakthrough deaths were from long-term care facilities, but would not say which facilities because that could potentially identify the people who died.

Experts say virus likely to linger as ‘endemic’

As COVID-19 continues to ease its grip on New Hampshire and beyond, people can see a light at the end of the tunnel through vaccination, fewer safety protocols and the go-ahead for group activities.
Even as cases dwindle, health experts say, the virus will continue to affect our lives. However, the state’s response – like others nationwide – has started shifting from pandemic mode to an “endemic” one.
“We all know that this was not going to go away, where this is a one-and-done and we are done with COVID,” said Dr. Aalok Khole, an infectious disease physician at Cheshire Medical Center in Keene. “. The eventual goal would be to see it being an endemic phenomenon . where it reaches certain people, but never to pandemic proportions.”
