BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – On Thursday morning, Vermonters ages 16 and older with certain high-risk health conditions can sign up for the COVID-19 vaccine.
That group was supposed to start on March 15, but the Scott administration moved it earlier because fewer people in the high-risk over-55s had signed up than expected.
The registrations start on Thursday morning at 8.15 am. Thursday’s group includes cancer patients, people with COPD, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, sickle cell disease, diabetes, immunocompromised patients, people with severe obesity, women who are pregnant, and people with disabilities such as Down syndrome.

Health experts say you don’t need a doctor’s certificate or proof of a health condition to sign up. You will be asked for information about a healthcare provider, but you can still make an appointment even if you do not have a healthcare provider.
