Chief Emery reported that the State numbers are better, with 62% of the population having at least one shot and 43% have completed vaccinations. Reaching the remainder will be challenging. Outdoor rules were loosened by the State today, and you don’t need to wear a mask if you are 6’ away and outdoors. Indoors, masks are still required. The State of Emergency order continues to be in effect.

We have now passed the Easter Holiday 2021 and the Covid 19 is still very much in the forefront of our lives.
Vermont continues to move forward with large numbers of people getting vaccinated. The age group for making appointments is all the way down to the 40+ The more people vaccinated the quicker things get back to some sort of normalcy.
The not so good news is, the number of daily positive cases are still very high with records showing near or over 200 each day.

From VTDigger:
School staff, child care workers and more Vermonters with high-risk conditions will become eligible to receive the Covid-19 vaccine starting next week, Gov. Phil Scott announced Tuesday.
Phase 5 of the state’s vaccination program will open March 8, Scott said, which will include high-risk Vermonters aged 55 and over. Starting March 15, those with the same high-risk conditions aged 16 and over will become eligible.
School staff and child care workers will also become eligible March 8, and can register for an appointment as soon as Friday. School-based vaccination clinics will deliver the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but school staff and child care workers will also be allowed to access the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines through the state’s partnership with Walgreens.
