What's New
(Updated Tuesdays & Thursdays)
|

-
Even if you have been vaccinated, please continue to follow current guidance to protect yourself and others. This includes: wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet from others, avoiding crowds, washing hands often, following CDC travel guidance, following quarantine guidance after an exposure to someone with COVID-19, and following any applicable workplace or school guidance, including guidance related to personal protective equipment and COVID-19 testing. This advice may change as we learn more about the vaccine.
-
The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines work like all vaccines to stimulate the production of antibodies (which are what our bodies naturally produce to fight a virus). However, they do it in a new way. COVID-19 mRNA vaccines teach our cells how to make a piece of a protein to trigger an immune response and build immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19. mRNA does not affect or interact with a person’s DNA, and the cell breaks down and gets rid of the mRNA as soon as it is finished using these instructions. Learn more here about mRNA vaccines and how they work.
-
Attention Employers: The Department of Health Services (DHS) and Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) are asking for your help in understanding employers’ efforts to promote vaccine uptake. Please take a few minutes to share your input in this survey. Results will be used to help DHS and WEDC develop information, materials or other methods to increase the vaccination rate.
-
The COVID-19: Vaccine Phases and Eligibility page on the DHS website details vaccination phases and provides eligible groups with information on where to get vaccinated and ways people can protect themselves. It is important to remember that as we begin vaccine distribution, supply will be limited and as more becomes available, more Wisconsinites will be able to get protected against COVID-19.
-
On January 19, DHS unveiled new COVID-19 vaccine data enhancements as part of the ongoing commitment to transparency and equitable rollout. New key data include:
- Separated vaccine shipment numbers to reflect the amount of vaccine doses delivered and the amount of vaccine doses in-transit.
- 4 new visualizations breaking down key metrics by age and sex.
