Vermont Tracking Program News & Updates
The Vermont Tracking Program has been busy improving user experience plus adding new features to the Public Health Data Explorer portal. We've designed a new query tool that's easier to use, created our first community profile, and updated report templates for better browser compatibility. And with the help of data stewards from Vermont's Healthy Homes Lead Poisoning Prevention Program , Cancer Registry , Healthy Vermonters Team, and the Department of Environmental Conservation , data were added to the portal.
New Query Tool!
