Dartmouth Health will no longer require patients undergoing kidney transplants to be vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the attorney general’s office.
The move comes after Attorney General Formella urged Dartmouth to change its policy following a complaint made to the NH Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau.
“After reviewing the matter and engaging with Dartmouth Health, we are pleased that they have taken the steps necessary to align their policies with the rights of patients and the requirements of State law,” Formella said in a statement..
Dartmouth will strongly encourage, but not require, patients to get the COVID-19 vaccination going forward.
