COVID-19 vaccines have arrived at New Hampshire s long-term care facilities and are beginning to roll out, after some concern about minimal communication and scheduling issues.
Long-term care facilities are getting their vaccines through a federal partnership with CVS and Walgreens. Nursing homes in New Hampshire have been particularly hard hit, with 79 percent of the state s deaths occurring at long term care facilities, the highest rate in the country.
