It is critical that we all stay vigilant and continue to do the things that help stop the spread of COVID-19:

  • Get your COVID-19 vaccine if you are over the age of 12.
  • Wear a mask when necessary. 
  • Clean your hands often by washing with soap or using hand sanitizer.
  • Observe local and state guidelines and keep up with the latest recommendations for your area.

And please remember:

  • Vaccination is the best weapon we have to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The most important thing you can do right now is to continue to practice behaviors and take actions that we know can stop the spread. Encourage your family and friends to do this, too.
  • COVID-19 vaccines are rigorously tested before released for public use.
  • Stay informed – continue to visit this page, watch for our emails, follow your local UVMHN hospital on social media or check the web pages provided by New York and Vermont state government.
