Moves Follow Updated CDC Guidance and as Vermont Continues to Lead the Nation in Vaccinations
by Timothy McQuiston, Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott today announced that because Vermont has already hit its necessary vaccination threshold with over 60 percent of the population receiving at least one dose, it will move into Step 3 of the Vermont Forward Plan more than two weeks ahead of schedule.
Additionally, following updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Governor signed an executive order lifting the state’s masking and physical distancing requirements for fully vaccinated individuals in Vermont. You are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after the final dose of your COVID-19 vaccine. Those not vaccinated must continue to wear masks in public spaces and adhere to gathering and social distancing requirements, as described in the governor s order.
