People who want to host a COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Vermont can now make a request to do so, state officials announced this week.
This includes business owners hoping to create opportunities for their employees or other community organizations that want to pitch in on the vaccination effort.
Anyone hoping to host a vaccination clinic can fill out an online request form, which gets submitted to the state. It is unclear whether the clinic must have a minimum number of expected attendees, and a Health Department spokesman said he would follow up with the Burlington Free Press with more information.

Vermont will comply with new federal guidance and eliminate the mask mandate for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, Gov. Phil Scott said Friday.
Complying with that guidance, which says those who have not been vaccinated or those whose vaccination is not yet complete should to continue to wear masks, will be done on the honor system, Scott said during his regular virus briefing.
Scott is also moving up the state’s reopening plans by two weeks. Effective Friday, there will no longer be a testing requirement for travel, and capacity limits will increase for both indoor and outdoor gatherings.
