Presently, 53.3 percent of the New Hampshire population has been fully vaccinated, and with CDC COVID-19 guidance continually being revised (www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov), now may be an ideal time to provide an update on what vaccination efforts will be happening within the Granite State and throughout the Winnipesaukee region as we move into the summer months.

COVID-19 vaccine is readily available at many local pharmacies like CVS, Rite Aid, and Walmart, just to name a few. However, you may want to call ahead or visit their website before walking in for a vaccine shot as some require appointments while others do not. Here are some of the other ways the COVID-19 vaccine will be made accessible from the Winnipesaukee Public Health Network:

Homebound vaccination program

The Winnipesaukee Public Health Network is collaborating with Home Health Care Agencies throughout the region to ensure those qualified for COVID-19 vaccine administration within the home have those service available to them. Those residents who find themselves homebound due to injury, illness or other ailment can work with their home health care agency to schedule a home visit. If you are not connected with a Home Health Care Agency and would like to inquire about a home visit, please contact the Partnership for Public Health at 603-528-2145.

Business/pop-up clinic program

Business owners, employers, and community leaders can reach out to the Winnipesaukee Public Health Network to come to a business, civic organization, etc. and conduct a COVID-19 vaccination clinic on-site for their employees, staff, and/or members. For more information contact the Partnership for Public Health at 603-528-2145.

Community events

Examples would be old home fays, resource fairs, craft fairs, car shows, holiday celebrations, etc., truly any business, civic organization, and/or community group planning and organizing events within the region can reach out to the Partnership for Public Health at 603-528-2145 to have an on-site COVID-19 vaccination clinic as part of their offerings to attendees.
