People 65 and older in Wisconsin will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine starting Monday, the state Department of Health Services said Tuesday, as a portion of the general public gets its first chance for protection against the pandemic that has claimed more than 5,500 lives in the state and some 400,000 nationwide.
But with 700,000 older adults in Wisconsin and only about 70,000 first doses of the vaccine arriving weekly, seniors seeking shots at their medical clinics, local pharmacies and local health departments may initially face busy phone lines, lengthy waits and uncertain information on websites.
Still, those are the places they should turn to, along with community clinics that might be set up by next month with centralized registration, said Julie Willems Van Dijk, deputy director of the state health department.
