Warner's new cases: ( 18 more since last Thursday, 23 active in Warner this week: total 353). Due to a glitch in the NH reporting system, WMUR says numbers since October 22 are still not fully entered in the system, so the recent totals are possibly still too low. www.wmur.com/article/covid-19-cases-nh-town/37155089#.
To get a COVID-19 vaccine: vaccines.nh.gov or call 211. Vaccinations for Covid-19 are FREE, and available for ages 5 and up, Pfizer and Moderna boosters are available for anyone over 18, six months or more after their second dose.
