How many Vermont nursing home staff are vaccinated against COVID-19 by June 26?

Covid 16 edited

A COVID-19 vaccine was administered to 95.1 percent of Vermont’s nursing and care homes workers as of June 26, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

This is a 0.2 percent decrease since the previous data update on May 29. The number of staff employed in nursing and care homes can fluctuate significantly, sometimes leading to a decrease in the total percentage of vaccinated staff.

Vermont is the most vaccinated state in the US among nursing and care homes.

COVID-19 claimed less than 10 lives in Vermont in the week ending June 26. This is unchanged from the week before.

There have been up 997 fatalities tied to COVID-19 in Vermont.

COVID-19 vaccinations are mandatory for US healthcare personnel due to a federal order. However, many states have raised challenges or issued separate rules about vaccine mandates for healthcare staff.

The Supreme Court in early 2022 shut down a much broader vaccine mandate which would have affected roughly 84 million US citizens.
