PRAIRIE DU SAC, Wis. A representative at Sauk Prairie Healthcare said that by the end of the day Monday, all employees who had requested a vaccine would be vaccinated. That includes about 470 employees at multiple locations.
Although there was an initial delay in receiving its first delivery of a COVID-19 vaccine, Sauk Prairie Healthcare has quickly vaccinated its employees. While many large hospitals received a first shipment on Dec. 14, Sauk Prairie Hospital had to wait until Dec. 23.
For comparison, UW Health has vaccinated 9,500 of its 13,000 employees who are eligible for a vaccine in the first phase.
