At Kinney Drugs in Hinesburg, a sign directs customers to sign up for COVID-19 vaccines online, at the register. You can sign up for vaccines directly through the Vermont Department of Health as well. Today, we hear an update on vaccination in Vermont.

The Scott administration has issued updated guidance for multi-household gatherings in Vermont. Two unvaccinated households may now gather at a time, including for children's playdates.In addition, the state's restaurants may now seat as many as six people at a table from different households. In our weekly health update, we talk through this and other COVID-19 news.
