‘We’ve done great,’ but potential surge is still possible
April 18, 2021
Residents of the Twin States continue to get vaccinated at relatively high rates and mask mandates in New Hampshire are easing, but Covid-19 cases and hospitalization rates also remain high.
When ranked nationally, New Hampshire comes in second and Vermont fourth in terms of Covid-19 vaccine administration per 100,000 people, according to the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation’s weekly Covid-19 modeling report.

A larger share had received at least one dose: in Vermont, 278,600, nearly 45%, and in New Hampshire, 764,600, more than 56%.

Officials from the CDC said hospital admissions have increased nationwide and are crediting the spread of variant cases. On Monday, they urged everyone to get a vaccine to help stop the spread.According to officials, COVID-19 cases have increased nationally by about 7%. Symptoms between variants and the original COVID-19 strain can be similar. So, there is no way of self-diagnosing which one someone may have, so detection of a variant can only be done in a lab by conducting gene sequencing on a positive sample. We know that these increases are due in part to more highly transmissible variants, which we are very closely monitoring, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said.Officials at the CDC have said every state has some form of a COVID-19 variant.
