(WHDH) — New Hampshire health officials identified the first person under 18 to die as a result of complications from COVID-19 Monday.
This death occurred in September in another state and was identified after COVID-19 was listed as a cause of death on the recently finalized death certificate, according to a release issued by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.
This child was said to be too young to have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
State officials say that between 25 and 30 percent of all new infections that are being reported are among people under 18.
