Dear UVM community,
The Vermont Department of Health has issued an alert regarding Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) for Burlington and Colchester and has published guidance available.
In response to this alert, the university is moving some activities occurring within these alert areas indoors and recommends that anyone involved in outdoor activities anywhere in our area follow Department of Health guidance, including wearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts and using approved bug repellent.
For up to date information on EEE in Vermont, please visit this Vermont Department of Health webpage.
For questions regarding health and wellbeing or EEE, please contact the Center for Health and Wellbeing at health@uvm.edu—we are here to support you. We hope you are having a wonderful start to the semester.
