Vermont officials are urging the state s residents who are eligible to get vaccinated against the virus that causes COVID-19, but they are also asking people to keep up with the measures designed to slow the spread of the virus.
The Tuesday call came as Vermont continues to set or approach records for the number of new cases of the virus. But deaths and hospitalizations are down because many older Vermonters, those most vulnerable to death and serious consequences of COVID-19, have been vaccinated.
Many of those new cases are among young people who are less likely to suffer serious consequences or death from COVID-19.

During Gov. Phil Scottâs March 16 press conference, state officials said an Essex High School (EHS) sports team was potentially affected by an opponent during a recent competition.
The initial question came in reference to the Missisquoi Valley Union (MVU) High Schoolâs announcement last week that it would be going fully remote for academic instruction and that all winter sports would have the rest of their seasons cancelled because of a COVID-19 outbreak.
The question specifically mentioned boysâ ice hockey teams and asked if state officials knew of any other schools that were impacted and could potentially face a similar situation naming Rice Memorial and Essex while being posed.
