State Kicks Off First Mass Vaccination Clinic In Loudon
Update: Saturday, March 6, 5:30 p.m.
Saturday was the first day of a three-day mass vaccination clinic scheduled at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon.
State health officials say they hope to vaccinate more than 11,000 people by the end of the drive-in clinic, using the recently approved Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
The site is appointment only, and many people with first-dose appointments originally scheduled in April moved up to this weekend.
Peter Hamilton of Concord, who got his shot Saturday morning, said he was grateful for the many volunteers staffing the site.
