JANESVILLE, Wis. – Wisconsin’s first public vaccination site is set to open on Tuesday Feb 16.
Located at Blackhawk Technical College in Janesville, the site will start with the goal of vaccinating 1,000 people each week. On Wednesday, Governor Tony Evers toured the site.
“This site will start slow, and hopefully as things go forward, they’ll get more and ore supplies to this site,” Evers said. “As this grows, we can have more and more sites across the state.”
The site will offer appointment only vaccines to anyone who already qualifies for a shot. The site is also the first of Wisconsin’s partnership with AMI Expeditionary Healthcare, who will be overseeing the shots.
