Vaccinations were provided to over 47,000 staff and 62,000 residents. "This partnership with CVS and Walgreens, as well as other independent pharmacies, has been a critical part of our efforts to protect Wisconsin's most vulnerable," said DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake. "And through these efforts, we have been able to get nearly 110,000 staff and residents in these facilities protected from COVID-19. As the federal program comes to an end, we will continue to ensure new staff and residents can get vaccinated moving forward." View the entire news release. |
