Patience Urged as Hospitals Carry Out This Historic Effort to Vaccinate the First Vermonters Against COVID-19
Vermont Business Magazine The University of Vermont Medical Center is entering its second week of COVID-19 vaccinations and is pleased to begin administering the vaccine to community-based providers. The hospital continues to vaccinate its own patient-facing staff as well as EMS personnel. The process for vaccine distribution was developed by the CDC and Vermont Department of Health and all Vermont hospitals are playing a part in assisting with its implementation.
To administer the vaccine to community health care workers identified in the first phase of the state’s plan, the hospital has created a clinic on the grounds of the Champlain Valley Exposition (CVE) in Essex Junction.

Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems (VAHHS), which represents all of Vermont’s 14 non-profit hospitals, announced this week new information in the State’s planned distribution of COVID-19 vaccinations. Hospitals have stepped up since the outset of the pandemic sharing PPE, organizing community testing, helping to plan for a surge of patients and, most recently, leading efforts to vaccinate the first phase (1a) of Vermonters as outlined by the CDC and the State of Vermont.
“The vaccine distribution process is new, complex and was developed over a short period of time. Still, hospitals are leading the way to ensure vaccinations are administered to patient-facing providers and staff in their hospitals and in their communities as quickly and effectively as possible,” said Jeff Tieman, President and CEO of VAHHS.
