BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – On Thursday morning, Vermonters 16 and older with certain high-risk health conditions can apply for the COVID-19 vaccine.
This group was supposed to start on March 15, but the Scott government changed it earlier because fewer people in the high-risk group 55+ signed up than expected.
Registration starts on Thursday morning at 8:15 am. Thursday’s group includes cancer patients, COPD patients, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, sickle cell disease, diabetes, immunocompromised patients, people with severe obesity, pregnant women and people with disabilities like Down syndrome.

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