A school district in New Hampshire canceled school on Monday when too many staff called in sick after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine the day before, Superintendent Kathleen Murphy said in a message to parents.

“Early this morning, after receiving communication from our building Principals, I made the decision to close school for the day,” Murphy said. “This decision was the result of a significant number of staff who became ill from the effects of the vaccine they received on Sunday.”
