Vermont youth ages 12 to 15 can now sign up to receive the COVID vaccine.
The appointment system through the Health Department opened at 8:15 Thursday morning. Parents need to add their children to their own profile or create one specifically for their child to book their vaccination.
The CDC recommended opening vaccinations for this age group late Wednesday. Currently, Pfizer is the only COVID vaccine approved for 12-to-15-year-olds, and kids will need a two dose regimen, like adults.
Where teens can get vaccine
In addition to regular sites, Vermont will host vaccination clinics at schools across the state. The locations will be open to students attending that school as well as those from nearby schools, independent schools, homeschoolers and the public.
