NEW! Gov. Evers and the Department of Health Services (DHS) announced yesterday, March 16, that individuals age 16 and older with certain medical conditions will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine beginning March 22, which is earlier than previously expected. This eligibility group includes individuals with medical conditions associated with an increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Read the full press release, here.
-
CDC relies on several systems to monitor vaccine safety, including v-safe, a new, smartphone-based tool. V-safe allows users to report side effects after COVID-19 vaccination to CDC in almost real time. V-safe is now available in English, Korean, simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Watch this video to learn more.

DHS has adopted CDC’s Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People. People who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, meaning it has been two weeks or longer since they have finished their vaccine series, can engage in some social situations. These include:
- Visiting with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing.
- Visiting with unvaccinated people from a single household who are all at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease, indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing.
- Refraining from quarantine and testing following a known exposure, if asymptomatic.
