COVID-19: Vermont opens vaccine appointments for ages 70 and up
Modified: 2/16/2021 11:16:29 PM
MONTPELIER The Vermont Department of Health was flooded with phone calls Tuesday morning as COVID-19 vaccination scheduling began for people ages 70 and over.
In the first 15 minutes of opening for that age group, the department received 7,000 calls, according to a news release. The state previously had focused vaccination efforts on those 75 and older, as well as health care workers, emergency medical providers and people in long-term care facilities.
Given the call volume, the department asks that people schedule their appointments online at healthvermont.gov/MyVaccine.
There are enough appointments for everyone in the age group, the release said.
