Vermont has a new coronavirus vaccination policy — and it favors some groups over others.

Specifically, the state’s new vaccination scheduling guidelines now allow all nonwhite residents of the state aged 16 and older to schedule appointments for the vaccine as of Thursday. White residents of the state who aren’t some form of essential worker and aren’t in the high-risk category must be 50 years of age or older to sign up.
