CONCORD, NH (CBS) - New Hampshire will expand eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine to all individuals 16 and older, starting on April 19, regardless of residency. It's a change from last week, when the governor said out-of-state college students aren't eligible.
"We just have so much more availability. We are going to have a lot of vaccine here so we want to get it out," Gov. Chris Sununu said.
