About 78% of eligible Vermonters ages 12 and older have received at least one dose of vaccine against COVID-19 as of Saturday, Gov. Phil Scott said Tuesday, nearing his goal of 80% when he will drop the remaining pandemic-related restrictions.
More than 11,345 residents need to get a shot to reach the goal, officials said. If 1,000 Vermonters get vaccinated a day, the restrictions will be lifted on June 11 while if double that are vaccinated daily, the full reopening would happen Saturday, officials said, noting that the vaccination rate have slowed in recent days.
“We're just days away from hitting our goal,” Scott said at his weekly virus briefing. “Vermont continues to lead the nation but even after we hit 80%, we're not going to declare victory. We'll continue pushing forward because the better we do now, the better position we'll be (in) for the long term.”
