Got Pfizer or Moderna? Be sure to get your second dose!
At Tuesday’s press conference with Governor Phil Scott and other state official, Health Commissioner Mark Levine, MD, thanked the many Vermonters who have stepped up to get vaccinated, and urged those who get a shot that requires two doses (Pfizer or Moderna) to be sure to complete their vaccination.
“Getting both doses gives you the highest level of protection from COVID-19,” Dr. Levine said. “Participants in the clinical trials who did not receive both doses were not followed (for study) for a long period of time, so we don’t know for sure how well or how long one dose will protect you.”
“Taking the full course of vaccine also offers better protection against variants of the virus. We know these are still circulating, and we need to keep doing everything we can to keep them at bay,” said Dr. Levine. “This means getting as many Vermonters fully vaccinated as we can.”

CDC data used to measure Vermont Forward progress adjusted
Human Services Secretary Mike Smith said Tuesday that Vermont will adjust vaccination data provided by the CDC and used to measure Vermont Forward progress, after discovering some records were being reported in duplicate.
The duplicates in CDC data were found in one batch of Veterans Affairs numbers reported late last week, and in a limited number of independent pharmacies, from April 6 through May 22, Sec. Smith said.
After correcting for this, the percentage of eligible Vermonters vaccinated (age 12+ with at least one dose) currently stands at 76.9%. Gov. Phil Scott said last week that COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted when Vermont reaches 80%.
“We have had great success with our vaccination program, but we are being extremely careful not to overstate our progress,” Sec. Smith said. “We have corrected our reporting and asked the CDC to remove the duplicates.”
