The first doses of the COVID-19 vaccines created by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna are officially in Vermont, and thousands have already been inoculated against the virus. On Dec. 15, the first Vermonter to get vaccinated was an emergency department nurse at the University of Vermont Medical Center. Since then, the first wave of vaccination efforts have focused on health care workers and residents and employees of long-term care facilities. Here's what to know about the vaccine and who can get it now that it's here. What does vaccine arrival look like? As of Dec. 29, the state has been allocated about 32,000 doses of the two vaccines available for distribution, Agency of Human Services Secretary Mike Smith said. The Pfizer vaccine began arriving in Vermont on Dec. 14, and the Moderna vaccine on Dec. 22.
