The pace of vaccinations against COVID-19 in the United States has been slow. Compared to the speed at which vaccines have been manufactured and approved, it seems downright sluggish.
As Wisconsin allows those age 65 and older to get shots, health officials have said that administering to a broader group will help speed up the vaccination process. But they’ve also warned people it will take at least two months to vaccinate the 700,000 Wisconsinites in this age group. And the list of people prioritized to get the vaccine has been ever-growing and is still evolving. New vaccination recommendations including essential workers, older adults and frontline health staff comprise almost half of all adults in Wisconsin, and the state’s supply remains much too low to handle them all.
