UVM Health Network Affiliates and Hospitals Across Vermont Working Quickly to Begin Phased Effort to Vaccinate Health Care Workers
Vermont Business Magazine Today, several frontline staff at the University of Vermont Medical Center were the first Vermonters to receive the approved Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. With the sooner than anticipated arrival of the vaccine in Vermont, UVM Medical Center, its UVM Health Network affiliates, and hospitals across the state are working as quickly as possible to ramp up vaccination clinics ahead of schedule. Initial vaccination efforts will continue in a phased manner for health care workers employed at the hospital and in the community, as well as first responders considered to be at higher risk for exposure.
