WOLFEBORO â Over the weekend, Huggins Hospital, working with the Carroll County Coalition for Public Health and local first responders, collaborated to administer about 100 doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine to high-risk patients before those vaccines expired.
According to a press release from Huggins Hospital, the hospital, the coalition and local EMS first responders acted quickly to make sure the doses would not go to waste.
The last-minute clinic was in addition to the vaccination clinic the hospital opened last week to vaccinate people over age 65, medically vulnerable patients and others in Phase 1B of COVID-19 vaccinations.
Huggins physicians, providers and nurses were ready at a momentâs notice to administer the vaccines with operational support from coalition members and hospital staff.
