Primary care practices enroll in vaccination program

MONTPELIER — Progress is being made on getting COVID-19 vaccines in more primary care settings. “We’ve now enrolled over 75 percent of hospital-associated practices and two-thirds of independent primary care practices,” Health Commissioner Mark Levine said Tuesday at the governor’s weekly news conference. “This is important because studies have shown that a doctor’s strong recommendation is strongly correlated with vaccination.” Some people say they would be more inclined to get a shot if it’s offered during a regular primary care visit, Levine said. Last month, the Vermont Department of Health Immunization Program announced that all Vermont primary care practices would be eligible to order COVID-19 vaccines for administration to their patients beginning June 21. Practices are required to be enrolled as COVID-19 vaccine sites and the primary vaccine contact needs to complete a training before they can order the vaccine.

Vermont COVID Vaccination Success Continues to Lead Nation

The continued spread of COVID-19 in Vermont and across the country is largely among the unvaccinated. “Being the most vaccinated in the country has built up of a line of defense for Vermont, but as we’ve said, we’re not resting on our laurels,” Gov. Phil Scott said during the Tuesday virus briefing. “There is still time to protect yourself if you haven’t done so yet. There is still a shot waiting for you.” Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine said Vermonters and the nation have witnessed what is probably the most successful population-wide mass vaccination campaign in the nation’s history.
