How to apply for the Covid vaccine

The state registration system for vaccination against Covid-19 is now open.

To register, visit healthvermont.gov/myvaccine (preferred) or call 855-722-7878.

You will be asked to provide your name, date of birth, address, email (if available), phone number and health insurance information (if available, but not required).

All Vermonters aged 75 and over are eligible to receive the vaccine. Through the registration system, individuals will register for consultations at clinics across the state.

At each visit, health professionals will administer the first dose of the vaccine. This is an injection in the arm that doctors and nurses compared to a typical flu vaccine.

The Covid vaccine requires two injections, given about three weeks apart, to be most effective. Patients will make an appointment for the second dose the moment they receive the initial injection.

State officials requested that those who register:

Use the online system, if possible, to prevent phone lines from becoming overloaded. If registrants need help with the online system, the state suggests that younger Vermonters help older relatives to register online.
Register on the website closest to where you live.
Make an appointment – no-shows or last minute cancellations can result in missed doses of vaccine.
