by Jeff Tieman, VAHHS CEO The last couple weeks have shown how the COVID-19 fight continues and evolves. On the concerning side: Vermont has recently experienced more patients hospitalized with COVID than at any time in the pandemic. New virus variants around the world already finding their way to the U.S. can make COVID even more contagious and dangerous.
On the positive side: Vermont’s vaccine rollout continues moving forward effectively and is protecting more people every day. Even with the federal supply still so blurry and unpredictable, nearly 11 percent of state residents have received their first dose of a vaccine. That keeps Vermont near the top of the list when it comes to administering vaccine.
