CONCORD – Gov. Chris Sununu’s policy against vaccinating college students who are not New Hampshire residents applies to non-resident high schoolers 16 and older living at boarding schools here as well, according to his spokesman Ben Vihstadt.
The statement came as a surprise to state Rep. Dr. Tom Sherman, D-Rye, who has been active in the state’s response to the pandemic.
