2024 VT Governor's race: on Health Care


Peter Duval: Consider international and intergenerational vaccinations

I can schedule an appointment for coronavirus vaccination, and for the first time in my life I am feeling vaccine-reluctant. I am not hesitant from fear but reluctant from unfairness.

International: Fair warning: Vermonters may feel remorse about Vermont's embrace of the America-first vaccine strategy. It's less effective than global cooperation, something that will be needed for future pandemics and other global crises. There is now an opportunity to mitigate the risk of remorse about vaccine nationalism by sending vaccine to someplace where there is none.

Intergenerational: Fair warning: Vermonters may feel remorse about Vermont's oldest-first vaccine strategy. Is it really guided by science? Any one of us would give our doses to ensure that the youngest in our family could go forward in life & confidently travel, hike, run & swim. I could wait even longer to support sending vaccine to faraway places and people who need it. But if I just defer vaccination, it wouldn't accomplish much.

Esther Charlestin: Expand access to mental health services in education system

Healthcare is a necessity to every person's life. I believe that increasing access to health care services is a core aspect of increasing equity and prosperity for all Vermonters. Specifically, one area of health care I hope to expand is access to mental health services in our education system. Mental health care is healthcare, and we need to ensure that children have the same access to it in schools as they do the ability to go to seek physical medical attention when they are sick or injured.
