CONCORD, N.H. — Tens of thousands of New Hampshire residents registered online to get their coronavirus vaccine Friday morning, as the state opened up eligibility to more groups, including anyone 65 and over. Gov. Chris Sununu said that after just 40 minutes, 60,000 people had signed up for vaccinations, which start Tuesday. Others eligible under "Phase 1B" of the state's plan include the medically vulnerable with two or more underlying conditions, residents and staff at residential facilities for people with intellectual disabilities, correction officers and staff, and any health workers or first responders not already vaccinated. Sununu has urged patience as the state expected "unprecedented" volume for online signups and calls to 211. He said call wait times could be an hour or more, so he was urging residents to use the state's website instead. Read more at CBS Boston
