Wisconsin says their vaccine wastage has been minimal with, of course, the glaring exception of the Grafton pharmacist accused of deliberately spoiling about 500 doses last month.

MILWAUKEE â This week, after much discussion, Wisconsinites got some more clarity on which groups will be next up in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
Shots have previously been opened up to health care workers and long-term care facilities in Phase 1A, plus police and firefighters as the first chunk of 1B.
As soon as next Monday, older adults ages 65 and up will also be able to get their shots, the Department of Health Services announced this week. And experts on the State Disaster Medical Advisory Committee, which advises the DHS on vaccine distribution, voted Thursday to finalize the rest of their Phase 1B recommendations.
COVID-19 vaccine demand exceeds supply, but a state committee of experts is moving closer to settling on who they say should be eligible for vaccines next.
