Vermont has pushed up the date to Saturday for people ages 16 to 18 to start signing up for COVID-19 vaccine appointments, a few days earlier than originally planned, Gov. Phil Scott announced Friday.
“As you know, I've made getting kids back in school a priority. This step will help give those kids the opportunity to register for Pfizer doses,” the only vaccine they're eligible for, he said during his twice-weekly virus briefing. Registration opens at 10 a.m.
Vaccine eligibility for all Vermonters 16 and older opens Monday. This week the state opened registration to people 30 and older, and as of Friday morning, nearly 18,000 in that age group had made appointments.
