Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott today issued the following statement:
“There is no better, safer, or faster way to defeat this virus and revitalize our economy than to make vaccinations available to every Vermonter.
“Since day one of our unprecedented effort to deliver safe and effective coronavirus vaccines, our strategy has been to preserve life. This is why, we - who are charged with the health and safety of Vermonters -have prioritized those at greatest risk of death and hospitalization.
“Vermont’s data currently shows the Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) population is at increased risk of hospitalization from COVID-19. This is a population of our neighbors already facing health equity disadvantages as a result of historical inequities and injustices.

Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott today marked the one-year anniversary since the opening of the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC). The SEOC was activated by Governor Scott on March 10, 2020 and opened on March 11, 2020 to support the work of the Vermont Department of Health and expand the capacity of state government to coordinate the COVID-19 response. The Health Department opened its Health Operations Center on February 3, 2020.
Since its opening one year ago, more than 200 individuals from more than two dozen state and partner agencies have worked directly in the SEOC to assist Vermont’s leading pandemic response. This group worked in partnership with another 370 individuals through the Department of Health, and numerous other state employees supporting the response across state government, as well as members of the Vermont National Guard.
