DHS Encourages Continued Public Health Practices

 Taking extra precautions critical to ending pandemic

Ahead of the holiday weekend, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) encourages Wisconsinites to keep doing their part to stop the spread of COVID-19. Getting vaccinated and continuing to follow public health practices are critical to ending the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The 4th of July looked a lot different last year. This year, we have reduced infection rates, one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, our businesses are bouncing back, and we're a national leader in getting shots in arms, including half of Wisconsinites receiving one dose of the vaccine," said Gov. Evers. "We have a lot to be proud of, but our continued economic recovery depends on making sure folks get the COVID-19 vaccine, so if you haven't already, roll up your sleeves and find a shot near you."

For anyone 12 and older, there are many ways to get vaccinated against COVID-19 including at pop-up clinics, pharmacies, or through your health care provider. To find a nearby vaccine provider, call 211 or visit the DHS COVID-19 Vaccine webpage.
