- Vaccination and prevention efforts remain critical to keep our case counts low. We are in a window of opportunity right now to prevent further cases, hospitalizations and deaths related to COVID-19 through vaccination. Cases are rising and, with the currently low uptake of vaccine by those not yet vaccinated, cases will continue to rise. You and those around you are safest if you are vaccinated. Let's keep cases low by helping everyone eligible get vaccinated.
-
If you are vaccinated, find time for conversations with your unvaccinated friends, family and coworkers. Listen to their concerns, share the reasons why you got vaccinated, provide reliable resources, and help them find a vaccine clinic when they are ready. Your support and understanding matters the most when it comes to talking with friends and family. Here are some tips for talking with them about the COVID-19 vaccine.
-
Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has indicated increased circulation of non-COVID respiratory viruses in Wisconsin. Everyday actions that prevent the spread of COVID-19 can also prevent the spread of other respiratory illnesses. Wash your hands often with soap and water, cover coughs and sneezes, and stay home when you are sick. People who have symptoms should stay home to prevent the potential spread of illness, especially in summer camps, child care programs, long-term care facilities, and other settings where close contact is likely and unvaccinated or immunocompromised persons are together.
- Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of cases, burden rate, testing numbers, percent positivity, hospitalizations, and deaths have been useful indicators of the current situation.
-
Over the past two weeks, we have reported a total of 33 confirmed + probable cases, a 57% increase compared to the 21 confirmed + probable cases reported in last week's report.
- The confirmed + probable case burden is moderate for our jurisdiction. The confirmed + probable case rate over the past 2 weeks for our jurisdiction is 21.5 cases per 100,000 people.
- There are at least 181 PCR tests being performed every day in our jurisdiction.
- Over the past two weeks, 1.0% of PCR tests were positive in our jurisdiction.
-
There are currently 2 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Fox Valley Area hospitals. There were no reported hospitalizations last week.
- The Delta variant is increasing rapidly in the U.S. and Wisconsin and is more likely to cause cases in groups of unvaccinated persons.
-
Current COVID-19 activity level is indicated as medium for Winnebago County based on a moderate burden and relatively flat trajectory of cases over the past two weeks. As long as the virus is still circulating, children under the age of 12 and all other unvaccinated individuals are still at risk of getting COVID-19.
-
Help protect our community by getting the COVID-19 vaccine and continue to wear a mask if unvaccinated and where masks are required.
-
Vaccines are available any day of the week at a site near you. A regional COVID-19 vaccine tour is occurring throughout the summer with vaccine clinics being held in Winnebago, Calumet and Outagamie counties. Visit www.wcvaccine.org to find answers to your questions about the vaccine and see where you can get vaccinated.
- 56.6% of Winnebago County residents aged 12 or older have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
-
Everyone 12 and older is eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer is the only vaccine currently approved for 12- to 17-year olds. Not all locations administer vaccines to those under 18, and not all locations carry Pfizer.
- COVID-19 testing remains an important tool in keeping the virus from spreading to those who are unvaccinated. Get a COVID-19 test if you have symptoms, were exposed to the virus, or feel you need a test even though you don’t have symptoms.
- Testing resources are plentiful, and the CDC encourages widespread testing to identify asymptomatic cases so measures can be taken to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

Start your COVID-19 vaccine series NOW to be fully vaccinated by the start of school. If you are preparing to have your kids vaccinated before the start of school, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Pfizer is the only vaccine approved for those 12 and up.
- Pfizer requires two doses, separated by 21 days. You are considered fully vaccinated 14 days following your second dose.
- Considering this timeline, July 27 is the last day you could start the two-dose Pfizer vaccination series to be considered fully vaccinated by September 1.
- Those 18 years and older are also eligible for the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

How to Prove COVID-19 Vaccination: As proof of COVID-19 vaccination is increasingly needed for travel, employment, and more, it’s important to understand the different ways to access your vaccination record or provide proof.
-
Vaccination Card: First, your vaccination card has information on when and where you received your vaccine as well as other helpful information related to the COVID-19 vaccine. Keep your card in a safe place! When taking pictures or posting selfies about getting your COVID-19 vaccine, do not post photos of your vaccination card online to protect your health information. Do not laminate your vaccination card.
-
Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR): If you do not have your vaccination card, you may also visit the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR) for a copy of your complete vaccine record. Your record can be accessed whether or not you have a social security card or internet. To learn the different ways to access your vaccination record visit the WIR webpage or call 608-266-9691.
