Plans are being organized to coordinate the COVID-19 vaccinations for school staffs in SAU 16 in the Exeter area and both Hampton area school districts beginning next week.
Scott Schuler is serving as incident commander of the Seacoast COVID-19 vaccinations, coordinating emergency responses between the Seacoast Public Health Network and Strafford County Public Health Network. He said both communities’ educators will be receiving their vaccines from members of the Exeter or Hampton fire departments.
Schuler said for SAU 16 teachers, the Exeter Fire Department will set up mobile clinics at each of the district’s schools throughout the week. He said educators should follow up with their school administrators for specific dates, times and locations.
SOMERSWORTH – Teams of two volunteers and one health care professional walked door-to-door Wednesday to administer second doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to residents in five of the Somersworth Housing Authority s buildings.
The hallways were lined with residents who sat ready, poised in their kitchen chairs they were told to place in their apartment doorway. The Strafford County Public Health Network volunteers went to each door, carrying a bright purple duffle bag filled with supplies to administer the vaccine and handouts on what side effects to expect.
The clinic was a follow up to first-dose vaccines administered in February to Somersworth Housing Authority residents in the Filion Terrace Apartments, Queensbury Mill Apartments, Charpentier Apartments and Albert Jack LaBonte Maple St. Apartments.
DOVER Area residents say they’re being helped “tremendously” through the state’s decision to allow local public health networks to administer leftover, soon-to-expire COVID-19 vaccine doses to them.
Tamara Collins, 87, of Dover, and her husband John were among the homebound individuals COAST Bus picked up and transported for vaccinations Thursday at a special pop-up clinic health officials operate at Community Action Partnership of Strafford County’s Dover office.
Leftover COVID-19 vaccine doses
“This came up very fast and is a fantastic, really fantastic service,” said Collins, who said her husband was originally scheduled to get his shot “months ago” but the appointment time didn’t materialize and they had to start the process over. “The way things are set up with the people that take care of people like us old people is more than fantastic and we’re more than grateful.”
