Vaccinators have administered over 3 million COVID-19 shots in the state.
That means over a third of Wisconsin residents have received at least one dose of COVID vaccine and 20 percent of the population is fully vaccinated.
But even as more people get vaccinated, cases of COVID-19 are rising across the state.
Wisconsin Department of Health Services Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk said that’s largely because of COVID variants.
“What we’re doing is racing against the variants with the vaccine,” she said.
All five strains of COVID-19 are present in Wisconsin, and they’re becoming more common.
Dr. Ryan Westergaard, the Chief Medical Officer with the DHS Bureau of Communicable Diseases, said it’s likely the UK variant, or B.1.1.7, will be the predominant COVID strain in Wisconsin in the next several weeks.
