The Health Department supported the state’s preparedness for a once-in-a-generation total solar eclipse that brought over 150,000 visitors to Vermont, responded to infectious diseases including historically rare confirmed cases of measles and Eastern equine encephalitis, and provided resources and guidance to aid in recovery from a second consecutive year of disastrous floods. Vermont also marked a nation-leading decline in deaths caused by opioid overdose, and noted declines in tobacco and alcohol use among pregnant people and young Vermonters.
