The Wisconsin advisory panel that decides who s next in line for the vaccine will pause to wait for Biden s strategy Molly Beck, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
MADISON - The state advisory panel recommending when Wisconsin residents should get the COVID-19 vaccine is pausing work while the Evers administration gathers more information on how President Joe Biden s vaccine strategy will affect the state.
The hiatus, which could last weeks, also comes while the distribution of vaccine doses is ramping up; it will likely take months to provide shots to everyone already eligible.
The committee does not coordinate the physical distribution of the vaccine, and state officials have the final say on guidance given to local vaccinators. The panel of public health experts collects public input on who should be prioritized in the rollout, and gives recommendations to the Department of Health Services on how to manage each phase of the distribution, among other duties.
Evers asks Wisconsinites to stay home for Christmas & New Years
There was no post-Thanksgiving spike in new COVID-19 cases, and coronavirus vaccine is now being given to front line health care workers. But Governor Tony Evers says this isn’t the time to let down our guard.
“We are not just out of the woods quite yet. It’s going to be a long process for everyone. Especially as we head into the holiday season, we are asking folks to continue doing your part to help keep our health care workers, our families and our communities healthy and safe,” Evers said Thursday.
Evers requests state Supreme Court allow new order limiting capacities
A new statewide order would cut bars and restaurants to 25-percent of capacity.
Governor Tony Evers’ office is asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to allow public health officials to issue that order in the effort to slow down new cases of COVID-19.
The order would be in effect for 28 days. The same order issued earlier this year brought on the lawsuit argued Thursday before the high court.
The Evers administration wants the Supreme Court to issue a favorable ruling, so Department of Health Services Secretary designee Andrea Palm can issue a new one.
