The Granite State held its first mass vaccination event at the speedway earlier this month. The first event on the speedway's 1,100 acres was made possible by the delivery of Johnson & Johnson vaccine shots to the state.
The site will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on both days. Appointments remain available for eligible individuals to schedule at vaccines.nh.gov or through their VINI account. Residents can also call 211 to schedule an appointment.
The state earlier this week said it hoped to vaccinate 8,000 individuals at the second speedway mass vaccination event.
New Hampshire is in Phase 2A of its vaccine rollout, with teachers, school workers and child care providers being vaccinated through regional public health networks working in partnership with school officials as well as state-run sites.
Residents aged 50 to 64 fall into Phase 2B of the state's vaccination rollout. Registration for that group opened Monday, but appointments didn't begin until March 25.
As of Monday, 22% of the state's population had gotten at least one dose of the vaccine, with 12% fully vaccinated, officials said.
Starting Friday, all residents of New Hampshire over the age of 16 will be eligible for the COVID vaccine, according to a tweet from Sununu.
