BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Thursday morning, Vermonters 16 and older with certain high-risk health conditions can enroll in the COVID-19 vaccine.
This group was scheduled to begin on March 15, but the Scott administration moved it earlier because fewer people were enrolled in the high-risk group over the age of 55 than expected.
Registration begins Thursday morning at 8:15 p.m. Thursday’s group includes cancer patients, people with COPD, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, sickle cell disease, diabetes, immunocompromised patients, people with severe obesity, pregnant women and people with disabilities such as Down syndrome.

Health experts state that you do not need any medical note or health test to register. You will be asked for information about a health care provider, but you can still make an appointment even if you do not have one.
