MADISON, Wis. – Like after a long winter, change is in the air. Vaccinators say that much-talked-about light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer by the day.
“We see it. We feel it,” said Mo Kharbat, regional vice president of pharmacy services at SSM Health. “Thankfully, we’re seeing the number of COVID-positive cases decline. The overall mood around here is excitement.”
“It’s great. Everyone I think is breathing a sigh of relief,” said Doug Voegeli with Public Health Madison & Dane County. “We know we’re going to have supply.”
“We’ve been getting a portion, a fraction, of what we request on a weekly basis,” Kharbat said. “What we heard is Wisconsin is getting anywhere from 80 to 90 to 100,000 doses a week and this number could triple or even quadruple by the end of the month, and if it does, it means that every vaccinator in Wisconsin will get all of the doses they request.”
