WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — As Vermonters 65 and older began registering for COVID-19 vaccine appointments at state-run and pharmacy sites on Monday, the state continued planning for the next stages of the vaccine rollout.
Vermont — which had previously been vaccinating Vermonters 70 and older, as well as health care workers and people in long-term care facilities — plans to expand vaccine clinics to include the state’s six Walmart locations beginning on Wednesday, and National Guard-run sites soon, the Vermont Department of Health said in an update for medical providers last week.
The state is already offering community vaccine clinics at the state’s 14 hospitals; through Health Department district offices; three federally qualified health centers including the Bradford, Vt.-based Little Rivers Health Care; 20 Kinney Drugs locations, including those in Bradford and Randolph; 31 Walgreens locations; as well as home health and emergency medical services.
