Area residents say they’re being helped “tremendously” through the state’s decision to allow local public health networks to administer leftover, soon-to-expire COVID-19 vaccine doses to them.
Tamara Collins, 87, of Dover, and her husband John were among the homebound individuals COAST Bus picked up and transported for vaccinations Thursday at a special pop-up clinic health officials operate at Community Action Partnership of Strafford County’s Dover office.
“This came up very fast and is a fantastic, really fantastic service,” said Collins, who said her husband was originally scheduled to get his shot “months ago” but the appointment time didn’t materialize and they had to start the process over. “The way things are set up with the people that take care of people like us – old people – is more than fantastic and we’re more than grateful.”
