MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — An intensive care unit nurse in Manchester has become the first person to be vaccinated against the coronavirus in New Hampshire. Heidi Kukla received her first dose of the vaccine Tuesday, quickly followed by four of her colleagues at Elliot Hospital. She said she wanted to inspire others to not be afraid to get vaccinated, because there’s nothing worse than being a patient on a ventilator with COVID-19 and the anguish felt by their family members. Health care workers are first in line for the vaccine. The state expects to distribute its initial shipment of 12,000 doses within a week.
