Can minors receive vaccinations in New Hampshire without parental consent?

Minors in New Hampshire currently cannot consent to vaccinations, unless they are granted emancipation (RSA 461-B) through court order. All other minors need parental/legal guardian consent for vaccinations.

Call your county health department and let them know about your situation.
