COVID-19 Vaccination
New Hampshire is committed to a safe and effective vaccine that will protect against COVID-19. The City of Nashua Division of Public Health and Community Services (DPHCS) encourages our community to get vaccinated!
Even with vaccination, it is important for everyone to continue practicing the following public health recommendations, including:
- Stay home if you are sick, except to seek medical attention
- Avoid large crowds and poorly ventilated places
- Wash your hands often and use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol in between
When Can I Get Vaccinated?

There are more than 400 locations across the State offering first dose and second dose appointments, and many locations offer walk-in service without the need for an appointment.
