Executive Council passes on $27M grant

[KCZ]

"It's too bad that we had to take it out of the (American Rescue Plan Act) funds when every other state has accepted the CDC funds, so it decreases our ability to invest the ARPA funds in the economy and other ways," said state Sen. Cindy Rosenwald, D-Nashua....

The funding is on its way to the executive council, but Shibinette said the approach is not a permanent solution. She told lawmakers that because the executive council shot down the CDC contracts, there will be delays in the vaccine rollout for kids ages 5-11.

Executive Council reverses course, votes to accept $22M to bolster NH's COVID-19 vaccination rate

Councilors agreed to accept, spend funds with non-binding resolution condemning vaccine mandates

I bet two acorns that the vaccination rate won't change. but hey-money

We needed that funding. There aren't enough appt slots available for children's vaccines right now because the programs for them were left hanging. Local pharmacies are no longer doing walk-ins and are scheduling appts in Dec. for adult boosters. Right now we're in the biggest COVID surge we've had since January, and what the delays in vaccinations means is that kids aren't going to be fully vaccinated going into the holidays.

We'll take your money but we won't like it.
