North Country Vaccine Updates

The State of NH has paused administration of the Johnson & Johnson (J & J) vaccine due to rare instances of blood clotting, which occurred in six people in the U.S. who had received the J & J vaccine. Read the CDC/FDA statement here.

Per the CDC:

Individuals receiving the J & J vaccine:

• For people who got the vaccine more than a month ago, the risk to them is very low at this time.
  
  
• For people who recently got the vaccine—within the last few weeks—they should be aware of any symptoms.
  
  
  • If you have received the vaccine and develop severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain, or shortness of breath, they should contact their healthcare provider and seek medical treatment.
    
    
• Importantly, there are three vaccines available. We are not seeing these events with the other two vaccines, Moderna and Pfizer.

When is it my turn? 

As of April 2, all New Hampshire residents ages 16+ are eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccination:
