SchoolCare was founded in 1995 as the New Hampshire School Health Care Coalition by bringing together associations representing public entity management and labor groups in the state. The Coalition was formed in response to issues of providing employee health care, including quality, choice, cost control and service that public entities were facing. Today, over twenty-five years later, SchoolCare is still a well-regarded resource for public entities facing these same issues.

COVID Vaccine Information
Published June 21, 2022
SchoolCare and Cigna are committed to keeping you informed about the COVID-19 vaccine.
The FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines for all adults and teenagers 18 and older in December of 2020, followed by a pair of recommendations for vaccination of children 12-17 and 5-11 in May and October 2021, respectively.
As of June 18, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine for children ages 6 months to 4 years old, which is administered in three specially formulated doses for Pfizer and two doses for Moderna.
Read more about vaccine recommendations and safety information for children and teens at the CDC website.
Moderna and Johnson & Johnson/Jansen vaccines are only available to adults 18 and older.
Here is what else we know:
Booster shots recommended for ages 5 and older
Studies have shown the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine to decrease overtime. As of November 2021, the CDC now recommends a booster shot for anyone 5 and older who has been administered both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. The booster shot should be administered at least five months after receiving the second dose of the vaccine.
Check which vaccines/booster shots are recommended for you and your family members at the CDC website.
Vaccines/booster shots are widely available
The vaccine and booster are now widely available at provider offices and pharmacies. Depending on where you go, you may first need an appointment.

We have resources to keep you informed
Vaccination recommendations and guidance from the CDC and FDA continue to evolve rapidly as new information is learned about COVID-19. We are committed to frequent communication and will be delivering regular updates to our members. Information is also updated on our news page at schoolcare.org, as it becomes available.
