Vermont Business Magazine As COVID cases continue to fall (the VDH reported eight cases today and again no deaths), the daily report will go to two times a week and the online data will be updated Monday to Friday. The weekend's numbers will be included Monday. This all will begin next week. Meanwhile, the state is approaching Governor Scott's 80 percent vaccination goal, though vaccinations have slowed in recent days. There are still many opportunities to get vaccinated across the state, including at walk-in clinics. For instance, for the governor to discontinue all COVID mandates by Monday, June 7, about 2,000 Vermonters a day would need to be vaccinated. On Wednesday, 482 individuals were vaccinated.

Vaccine opportunities available where Vermonters live, work and play
Check out more walk-in and other vaccine opportunities at worksites, places of worship, libraries, mobile home parks – and at special events, like the Burlington Jazz Festival and the St. Albans Bay Car and Motorcycle Show on Saturday, as well as at several Vermont State Parks on Sunday! The rained-out Thunder Road clinic, originally set for this past Sunday as part of the Memorial Day Classic, has been rescheduled for Friday, June 4.
Some primary care practices are also starting to offer vaccine, so if you’ve been waiting to get vaccinated by your own health care provider, you may want to ask if they are participating.
Vermont employers, health and service organizations, community groups and others who want to host or request a vaccination clinic are encouraged to send in this online Vaccine Clinic Request Form.

New map of COVID-19 vaccine rates by town
You can now see a new Vermont data map that shows COVID-19 vaccine rates by town! The interactive map reflects percent of Vermonters aged 12 and older who have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. The map will be updated weekly on Thursdays.
The information is best used to help understand potential gaps in vaccination coverage and to inform planning discussion. However, some caution is advised when interpreting the town-level data. There are several scenarios where vaccinations may not be attributed to the correct town. For example, some towns do not have a unique zip code assigned, so if a person registers with their mailing address, it may reflect a different town than their physical location. Read the Data Notes below the map for more details.
