Tick season is alive and well in Vermont, even with snow on the ground.
At the beginning of April, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture put out a notice on its social media page that ticks had made their return around the state.
Last year, amid the temporary stay at home order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Vermont Health Commissioner Mark Levine encouraged residents eager to get outdoors to watch for bite-sized pests.
Spring tick activity is generally linked to increased cases of Lyme disease and anaplasmosis, according to a data report from the Vermont Department of Health. Going back to 2004, the department has tracked tick-related emergency room visits using data collection from hospitals across the state.

Formal FDA approval of the Covid-19 vaccine is “many months” away, Vermont Health Commissioner Mark Levine said at a press conference Tuesday.
Vermont Daily asked the commissioner, “Employers can’t mandate vaccination until after formal FDA approval. When do you think that FDA decision would be made? Weeks away? Months? What’s the timeline?”
Health Commissioner Mark Levine replied: “I honestly don’t know. I don’t believe anyone knows.”

There’s normally more than one study, the studies need to be long enough, and there needs to be ample time to evaluate the studies. “That usually means quite a few months. I would think it would be well into … many months.”
