COVID-19 vaccine scheduling processes likely will remain the same next week after thousands more people become eligible in Rock County, local health officials said.
Wisconsinites ages 16 and older with certain medical conditions will be eligible for the coronavirus vaccine starting Monday, a week earlier than previously announced, Gov. Tony Evers said Tuesday.
Qualifying conditions include moderate to severe asthma, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, Down syndrome, and being overweight with a body mass index of 25 or above. Pregnant women are also eligible.
Rock County residents can expect to see a new vaccine request form for people with medical conditions soon, said Jessica Turner, spokeswoman for the Rock County Public Health Department.
