COVID-19 Vaccinations: Phased Distribution Continues

With a vaccine comes the hope of changing the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The University of Vermont Health Network is committed to administering the vaccine safely and efficiently to eligible recipients within our region, following the phased distribution plans from New York and Vermont and CDC guidelines.

It is not yet known when the vaccine will be available more broadly in our region for the general public. However, we are committed to sharing the most up-to-date information so that you understand more about who is eligible to receive the vaccine, when and where. You can access state-specific vaccine information for New York and Vermont, including frequently asked questions, on the pages below.

As the pandemic continues to surge with rising numbers of COVID-19 infections here and around the country, it is so very important – especially during this holiday season – to stay vigilant and continue to do the things that help stop the spread of COVID-19:

  • Wear a mask when leaving your house and when you are around others you don’t live with.
  • Keep your distance from others, with a general guideline of staying 6 feet apart.
  • Clean your hands often by washing with soap or using hand sanitizer.
  • Observe local and state guidelines around travel and quarantine.

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 be vigilant and practice behaviors 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.
  • We are vaccinating front-line caregivers first to keep them safe, healthy and available to provide care for those who need it.
  • 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.
