The clinics, slated for March 20 and 27 at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, are intended for teachers, bus drivers, classroom aides, substitute teachers and anyone else who is critical to the function of their New Hampshire school regardless of their state of residence, Alice Ely, executive director of the Public Health Council of the Upper Valley, said in an interview Thursday.
The health council is working directly with K-12 schools, both public and private, to identify and register staff who want to be vaccinated. Individuals cannot sign up for these clinics on their own.
