LIVE BLOG - CORONAVIRUS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE: Twenty-four thousand doses of Moderna vaccine arriving tomorrow
Update: Monday, Dec. 21, 5:55 p.m.
The state of New Hampshire is expecting to receive over twenty-four thousand doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine tomorrow (Tuesday). Moderna’s vaccine, which is being partially produced in Portsmouth, was recently approved for emergency use by the FDA. New Hampshire also received close to 9,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine Monday, fewer than originally expected. Those doses are all going to the state’s most vulnerable residents, including health care workers. Long term care facilities will begin distributing shots to their residents and staff this week.

Sununu told NBC10 Boston’s Katherine Underwood during a Sunday interview that he blames each and every one of the senators and representatives who got vaccinated before long-term care residents.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey were among those who said they received their first dose of Pfizer s vaccine this weekend. Sens. Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren were among a handful of New England politicians who said they received their COVID-19 vaccinations this weekend.
“Because every single one of those vials that’s being used for a congressman or a senator that has been doing nothing, that hasn’t been on the front lines, is another vial of vaccine that isn’t going to a nurse or a resident in a long-term care facility,” Sununu explained of why he is so upset with them.
