CONCORD – Citing the threat of a major snowstorm headed into the state, New Hampshire health officials are rescheduling COVID-19 vaccination appointments that had been on the books for Tuesday.
New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Jake Leon said vaccination appointments were moved a day earlier whenever possible. The safety and well-being of our state’s vulnerable populations is our highest priority, Leon said. After receiving the latest weather update yesterday, the state team quickly reached out to all individuals scheduled to receive their vaccine at a state managed site on Tuesday and moved up their appointments to today. In cases where an individual was not available today, they were rescheduled for another date and time.
CONWAY â While Memorial Hospital in North Conway started administering vaccines to New Hampshire residents 65 and older this week, Memorial patients who reside in Maine must be aged 70 or older to be vaccinated and must get their shots at a clinic in Maine.
While officials at Memorial had initially said they hoped to be able to vaccinate their Maine patients, state regulations in Maine and New Hampshire are limiting the vaccines to state residents only. About 10 percent of the patients at Memorialâs primary care practice reside in Maine.
MaineHealth sent out a letter to Maine residents in its system with information about clinic locations and how to sign up for the vaccine.
