DURHAM Isabella Ronson, an out-of-state senior at the University of New Hampshire, established state residency Monday at the Department of Motor Vehicles with her apartment address.
Susceptible to COVID-19 complications due to Crohn’s disease, it was the only way Ronson could quickly become eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in New Hampshire.
“It was really frustrating when the governor made the announcement about the rollout for everyone above (age) 16 because I had been waiting so long to register,” said Ronson, who hails from Virginia.
Out-of-state students such as Ronson are currently unable to receive a coronavirus vaccination in New Hampshire, despite living in the Granite State for the majority of the year and meeting the current age eligibility requirements rolled out by Gov. Chris Sununu in recent weeks.
