MONTREAL, Vt. (AP) – Vermont has become the first state in the country to vaccinate at least 80 percent of its eligible population. Zuri Hoffman joins NBC Five Live from Burlington with all the information you need to know tonight: “I’m a better guy than the governor, but today’s big announcement is undoubtedly a big announcement: Vermont is now the first state in the United States to fully vaccinate 80% or more of its eligible population.
The state of emergency will be lifted on the night of Tuesday 15 June. It is an emotional milestone for the Governor and his team who have been working on the COVID 19 crisis.
