Tele-Talk: What could N.H. be doing better in its vaccine rollout?

At his Thursday press conference, Gov. Chris Sununu said COVID-19 numbers “keep trending downward, but we still have a ways to go.” Meanwhile, 15 percent of Granite Staters have received at least one dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, and 6.7 percent have had their second shot. The state lags slightly behind other New England states: In Massachusetts and Maine, about 16 percent have had at least one shot, and in Vermont, 15 percent have had one shot and 7.7 percent have received both. (Topping the U.S. is Alaska, where 22 percent have had one shot and 12 percent, two. That Alaskan group also includes teachers and grocery workers age 50+.) In N.H., Walgreens pharmacies have begun vaccinating adults 65+ and other Phase 1B folks who had trouble registering. Locally, most people get their vaccine at a Memorial Hospital-run clinic. The hospital is allocated around 360 doses a week under Phase 1B.
