New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services issued the following announcement on Aug. 16.
The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is pleased to announce the NH Mobile Vaccine Van will offer free COVID-19 vaccines at state parks through September 30. DHHS has partnered with the New Hampshire Department of Natural & Cultural Resources (DNCR) to make it easy for people to get vaccinated while enjoying New Hampshire state parks.
Anyone who is vaccinated at these locations will receive a complimentary day pass to any New Hampshire State Park or historic site for use any time until 12/31/2022. The day pass does not include meter parking, camping, Cannon Mountain Ski Area, The Flume Gorge or Cannon Mt. Aerial Tramway.
“As New Hampshire prepares for a busy fall tourism season, we continue make vaccination as easily available as possible,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “Take in the great outdoors at our pristine state parks, and get the vaccine all while you’re there – a win-win!”
“One of the ways we have continued to make the vaccine as accessible as possible is through our mobile vaccine van,” Patricia Tilley, Director of Public Health Services stated. “Working with DNCR, we wanted to create an opportunity to reach those who may be delaying getting vaccinated. Now is the time.”
“We welcome thousands of New Hampshire residents and visitors to our many state parks each day,” DNCR Commissioner Sarah Stewart said. “We are thrilled to partner with DHHS in order to make the vaccine as easy and accessible as possible.”
