Vermonters 30 and older can register for Covid vaccine appointments starting at 8:15 a.m. on Monday.

Four entities are scheduling vaccine appointments: The Vermont Department of HealthKinney DrugsCVS and Walgreens.

Each has its own registration system. You may choose to schedule an appointment with whichever is most convenient. However, the Health Department has said you should not book an appointment on multiple sites โ€” please pick one.

State officials have requested that those registering:

  • Use the online system, if possible, to keep the phone lines from getting overwhelmed.
  • Register for the site closest to where you live.
  • Keep your appointment โ€” no-shows or last-minute cancellations could lead to vaccine doses being wasted.

  • Vermonters 16 and older who identify as BIPOC โ€” Black, Indigenous and people of color โ€” along with members of their households
  • Those who work in schools, public safety or health care
  • Parents or caregivers of children with qualifying health conditions

The next and final age group, Vermonters 16 and older, will become eligible on Monday, April 19.
