MADISON, Wis. – For health officials, the beginning of the vaccine rollout felt like a sprint.
“It felt like we were like racing as fast as possible to get everyone vaccinated,” said Rebecca LeBeau, public health specialist at Public Health Madison & Dane County.
From a peak of about 426,000 vaccines given the first full week in April, that’s fallen to about 105,000 administered over the last week of May, according to data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
