University of New Hampshire (UNH) Police Chief Paul Dean and Health & Wellness Medical Director Peter Degnan announced in an email on Wednesday that all members of the UNH community who have not received their first dose of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine can do so at the Whittemore Center Arena on Monday, April 19.

Earlier this week, University of New Hampshire (UNH) Student Body President Nicholas Fitzgerald and Student Body Vice President Tyler Silverwood signed a letter with other student governments from Dartmouth College and Plymouth State College urging New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu to expand coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine access to out-of-state college students.

Starting April 2, New Hampshire residents age 16 and older will be eligible for the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination, said Gov. Chris Sununu in a press conference on March 25. This decision, however, does not include out-of-state college students or international students.
