- Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and the community, especially as we move into more indoor activities and holiday gatherings. If you get COVID-19, you also risk giving it to loved ones who may get very sick. COVID-19 vaccines have been proven to reduce the risk of getting the virus and also protect the people around you, particularly those at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
-
Data continues to show that unvaccinated people account for the vast majority of severe cases, hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19. The risk of having a serious adverse reaction to the vaccine is very low — far lower than the risk of contracting COVID-19. Vaccines are free and do not require an ID or insurance. Visit www.wcvaccine.org for info.
-
The FDA and CDC authorized the use of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine requires two doses 21 days apart for full protection, and is the first and only vaccine currently available for this age group. Children and youth under 18 continue to represent the highest number of new PCR confirmed cases compared to other age groups. In the past 14 days, there were 107 PCR confirmed cases among 5- to 9-year-olds in our jurisdiction, indicating a critical burden status in this age group.
-
Pfizer and Moderna booster doses are recommended for certain populations at higher risk of exposure to or transmission of COVID-19 and may be given at least 6 months after their second dose. Johnson & Johnson booster doses are recommended for anyone 18 and older at least two months after their first dose. The FDA and CDC have also approved mixing and matching of vaccines, so individuals may choose a different vaccine type than they originally received if preferred. Additional doses continue to be recommended for moderately to severely immunocompromised people at least 28 days after the last dose of their primary series.
-
To help keep schools open, have your child wear a mask, stay home when ill, and get tested if they have symptoms or were exposed to COVID-19. If your child is ill or has been exposed to COVID-19, keep all other children in your household home too. Find answers to common questions here.
- COVID-19 testing remains an important tool in reducing spread of the virus to others. Whether you are vaccinated or unvaccinated, protect others by getting a COVID-19 test if you have symptoms, were exposed to the virus, or feel you need a test. Even if you have no symptoms or mild symptoms, you can infect others.
- If you were exposed to COVID-19, it's best to wait 5-7 days from exposure to get tested. If you test too early, the viral load may not be enough to show up on a test. Anyone with symptoms should get tested immediately.
-
Sunnyview Expo Center PCR test results currently take approximately 2-3 days. Visit our website for a list of testing locations in Winnebago County.
- Situational Awareness:
-
The confirmed + probable case burden is very high for our jurisdiction. The case rate over the past 2 weeks is 720.0 cases per 100,000 people, an increase of 24% from the 578.9 cases per 100,000 reported last week.
- Over the past two weeks, we have reported a total of 1,107 confirmed + probable cases.
- There are at least 601 PCR tests performed every day in our jurisdiction.
- Over the past two weeks, 10.7% of PCR tests were positive in our jurisdiction. This rate indicates that more testing after exposure is needed. It's important that those infected let their contacts know to get tested.
-
There are currently 90 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Fox Valley Area hospitals.
- 65.9% of Winnebago County residents aged 12 or older have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose.
-
Only the highest risk close contacts are being contacted directly by public health – we are asking people that test positive for COVID-19 to reach out to all close contacts themselves.
-
Vaccines are available any day of the week. Visit www.wcvaccine.org to find answers to your vaccine questions and find a vaccination site near you. Check with vaccine locations ahead of time if you want a specific vaccine brand.

COVID-19 Holiday Safety Tips: Thanksgiving is right around the corner! The CDC recommends that all adults and children age 5 and older get a COVID-19 vaccine. To enjoy a happy and healthy Thanksgiving, remember to track local transmission rates, take precautions like wearing a mask and washing your hands, and get a booster shot if you are eligible. Read the recipe for a safe thanksgiving. Don't forget about the kids at the table- vaccination is the best way to protect children, friends, family, and the broader community from the spread of the virus. Visit www.wcvaccine.org to learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine and clinic locations.
-
Where To Get Your COVID-19 Booster Dose: People eligible for their COVID-19 booster shot are able to receive their booster dose at any vaccine provider. You may return to the site where you received your primary series, or if there is a more convenient location elsewhere, that is ok too. For additional information about booster doses, additional doses, and help to access your COVID-19 vaccine record to determine when you may be recommended for a booster, visit the DHS Additional Doses and Booster Doses webpage.

-
Am I Still Considered Fully Vaccinated If I Don't Get A Booster Dose: Yes. Everyone is considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 two weeks after their second dose in a two-dose primary series, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or two weeks after a single-dose J&J/Janssen vaccine. A booster dose is a supplemental vaccine dose given to people when the immune response to a primary vaccine series is likely to have decreased over time. The booster dose is intended to boost your immune system for better, long-lasting protection.

COVID-19 Vaccine for Children 5-11 Years Old: Children and teens are at risk for serious COVID-19 illness and can spread the virus to others—even if they don’t have symptoms. But with the COVID-19 vaccine for ages 5 and up and clear information for parents and guardians, you can protect the kids in your life wherever live, play, and learn. Because COVID-19 is still spreading in our communities, all of us have a role to play in keeping Wisconsin children healthy and safe. For resources to support your family’s health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic, including guidance for staying safe in school, mental health resources for children and families, and up-to-date information on Multi-system Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), visit the COVID-19: Health Kids page

COVID-19 Vaccination and Other Medical Procedures: If you are due for a mammogram and have been recently vaccinated for COVID-19, ask your doctor how long you should wait after vaccination to get your mammogram. People who have received a COVID-19 vaccine can have swelling in the lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy) in the underarm near where they got the shot. This is more common after booster or additional doses than after the primary vaccination series. This swelling is a normal sign that your body is building protection against COVID-19. However, it is possible that this swelling could cause a false reading on a mammogram. Some experts recommend getting your mammogram before being vaccinated or waiting four to six weeks after getting your vaccine. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and other medical procedures.

While vaccination remains the most effective tool we have to prevent COVID-19, everyone should continue to practice good public health behaviors. This means wearing a mask indoors, avoiding large gatherings, staying home when feeling sick, and getting tested if you have symptoms or after close contact. For more information on good public health behaviors, visit the DHS COVID-19 website.
