Vermont Department of Health - Pulse Oximeter Request

The Health Department's Pulse Oximeter Program has ended. Pulse oximeters are still available for purchase without a prescription at pharmacies and retail stores. A pulse oximeter is a small device that clips onto your fingertip to measure your pulse and oxygen levels. People with COVID-19 - or certain lung and heart conditions - can have lower than normal oxygen levels in their blood, even if they feel well or their symptoms are mild. Please consult your health care provider if your pulse oximeter reading is below 95%.
