Important New Travel Guidance
Please read this important new travel guidance for all Easterseals employees working in New Hampshire. This guidance may be different from what you’ve heard elsewhere, so please familiarize yourself with the specifics, especially if you’re planning to travel in the near future.
Have you been vaccinated?
If you've completed your COVID vaccination (Pfizer and Moderna require two shots, Johnson & Johnson only one), please send a copy of your Vaccination Card to Occupational Health. This record will become part of your medical file. Having your record on file will make it easy for our Occupational Health team to waive the 14-day quarantine period in the event of an exposure or travel. Click here for more information.
More COVID Information...
For information regarding return to work guidance, vaccines, quarantine guidelines, COVID FAQs, or additional updates regarding COVID, please visit the Occupational Health page.
As Easterseals continues to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, please make sure to stay up-to-date on the policies, procedures, and guidelines outlined in our agency Pandemic Plan, updated 1/14/21. As best practices continue to change and the situation evolves, we will continue to update this plan regularly.

Tippa's Tip: Smaller screens can make reading difficult - any doubts, wait to find out!
When you’re away from your desk and you receive a “fishy” e-mail, wait until you have a device that displays the sender’s name and email address! Protect yourself from phishing by waiting to open e-mails until you can use a screen large enough to see this information. And when in doubt, don't open! Forward e-mails that you believe may be “fishy” to helpdesk@eastersealsnh.org. Thanks for all you do!
