Today, DHS announced future groups that will be eligible for vaccine. These populations will tentatively be eligible beginning March 1, though the start date is dependent on the vaccine supply from the federal government. Future eligible populations include the following groups (in priority order):
- Educators and child care
- Individuals enrolled in Medicaid long-term care programs
- Some public-facing essential workers like food supply, public transit, utility and communications infrastructure, and 911 operators
- Non-frontline health care essential personnel
- Congregate living facility staff and residents

Please be reminded that, at this time, the Winnebago County Health Department is still processing Phase 1a individuals and fire and police personnel. If believe you are in phase 1a, and haven't yet received a vaccine click here. We are finalizing plans for mass vaccination clinics and will announce additional details as soon as possible. The health department does not currently have a vaccine registration form for those 65 and older or for phase 1b. You may find one through your healthcare provider or pharmacy.
-
The CDC updated its vaccine guidance to reflect that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are not interchangeable with each other or other COVID-19 vaccines. The safety and efficacy of a mixed-product series has not been evaluated. Both doses of the series should be completed with the same product. This means an individual’s second dose should match the first: Pfizer to Pfizer, Moderna to Moderna.
-
If you plan to travel internationally, you will need to get tested no more than 3 days before you travel by air into the United States. You will need to show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight, or be prepared to show documentation of recovery. Please plan accordingly to ensure you are able to talk with your healthcare provider and obtain correct documentation.

More than 5,000 people experiencing behavioral health challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic have gotten free support from Project Recovery since the program launched in June. Trained crisis counselors are available to help individuals deal with stress and develop healthy coping strategies. Call 2-1-1 and ask for Project Recovery or get help on the website: https://projectrecoverywi.org/.

Staying home with only members of your household is the best way to keep COVID-19 out of your home. However, if a visitor needs to be in your home, improving ventilation (air flow) can help prevent particles from accumulating in the air. Good ventilation, along with other preventive actions, can help prevent you from getting and spreading COVID-19. There are ways you can improve ventilation. Use as many ways as you can to help clear out particles faster.
- Bring as much fresh air as possible.
- Filter the air in your home.
- Turn on the exhaust fan in your bathroom and kitchen.
- Use fans to improve airflow.
- Limit the number of visitors inside your home.
