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. The vaccine continues to be available at no cost and no ID or insurance are required. Visit www.wcvaccine.org to find a vaccine near you. Once you are fully vaccinated, you can finally shed the mask! Read more here.
- The confirmed + probable case burden is moderate for our jurisdiction. The confirmed + probable case rate over the past 2 weeks for our jurisdiction is 36.4 cases per 100,000 people, which is a 15% decrease from the case rate of 42.9 cases per 100,000 people reported last week. The number of cases (confirmed/probable) in the first week of this 2-week timeframe was 31/8 and for this most recent week was 11/6.

Although the number of vaccinated people is increasing and the number of cases is decreasing, it is important that we keep up with safety and prevention measures. If unvaccinated and in public spaces, please continue to social distance, wear masks, and wash your hands.

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. Sunnyview Expo Center PCR test results have a quick turnaround. Visit our website for a full list of testing locations in Winnebago County.
- In the past two weeks, individuals aged 18-24 had the highest PCR confirmed case rates of 47.1 per 100,000 people. Rates were lowest in those aged 50-59 (4.4 cases per 100,000 people).

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) released new information about the newest variant of concern, variant B.1.617.2, also known as the Delta variant. Variants are most commonly raised to variants of concern if they show evidence of being more contagious, causing more severe illness, or are more difficult to treat using known therapies. To date, 26 cases of the Delta variant have been identified in Wisconsin since April 2021. Fortunately, the COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. have shown they provide some protection against the Delta variant. As new variants emerge, it is essential to get vaccinated and continue public health practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Further mutations of the virus can be prevented as more people get vaccinated. By getting vaccinated, you stop the spread. To find a vaccine location near you, visit www.wcvaccine.org.

Reminder: Using a Fake COVID-19 Vaccine Card is a Crime - Getting a COVID-19 vaccine and receiving a legitimate vaccination card is free. Vendors selling fake vaccine cards have cropped up on Etsy and other dark web sites. Fake vaccine cards not only have a negative impact on public health, says the FBI, but they're against the law — unauthorized use of an official government agency's seal can be punished with a fine or up to five years in prison.

DHS updated their COVID-19 Racial and Ethnic Disparities page to include vaccination data, in addition to existing data on COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths by group. The data underscore health inequities disproportionately affecting communities of color in Wisconsin. Data show higher case rates and lower vaccination rates among Wisconsin’s Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Read full press release here.
