Many more people became eligible to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations this week, and a new, one-dose vaccine was approved for use nationally, but Door County public health officials said it s too soon to know how these events will affect the ability to administer shots to all those eligible.
A new demographic in the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Phase 1B of the vaccine rollout was made eligible as of Monday. First priority among the newly-eligible groups is given to school and child care workers, while others now eligible in order of priority are people in Medicaid long-term care programs, some essential workers who deal with the public (such as 911 operators, public transit and grocery/convenience store workers), non-frontline essential health care staff, and staff and residents of congregate living settings.
