COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic for Upper Valley Residents With Limited English Proficiency
May 1, 2021 9 am to 1:00 pm
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Main Hospital Entrance
One Medical Center Drive, Lebanon, New Hampshire
The Upper Valley Public Health Region has been operating COVID Vaccination Clinics to supplement the State of New Hampshire’s Fixed Site Clinics since December 2020. A number of appointments will be held for the Limited English Proficient population on Saturday, May 1st at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, for whom interpreter services will be ready to assist. Our mission is to get vaccine to members of our communities who may have difficulty managing the State’s registration system and/or travel to the Fixed Site Clinics. This includes people for whom English is not their first language.
Who can get a vaccine?
Anyone aged 18 and older who lives in our region. You do not need to be a New Hampshire resident to register.
We will provide the 1st dose of Moderna vaccine and will hold a 2nd dose clinic in 4 weeks. We cannot provide 2nd doses of vaccine on May 1st. Only first doses will be provided on May 1st.
Please call the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hotline at 603-650-1818 to register for this vaccine clinic. You will be asked to provide your name, date of birth, and address. Language interpretation will be available for registration and at the vaccine clinic.
