Primary care practices enroll in vaccination program : vimar

MONTPELIER — Progress is being made on getting COVID-19 vaccines in more primary care settings.
“We’ve now enrolled over 75 percent of hospital-associated practices and two-thirds of independent primary care practices,” Health Commissioner Mark Levine said Tuesday at the governor’s weekly news conference. “This is important because studies have shown that a doctor’s strong recommendation is strongly correlated with vaccination.”
Some people say they would be more inclined to get a shot if it’s offered during a regular primary care visit, Levine said.
Last month, the Vermont Department of Health Immunization Program announced that all Vermont primary care practices would be eligible to order COVID-19 vaccines for administration to their patients beginning June 21. Practices are required to be enrolled as COVID-19 vaccine sites and the primary vaccine contact needs to complete a training before they can order the vaccine.
