The Milwaukee VA Medical Center announced it is now giving COVID-19 vaccinations to all veterans – regardless of enrollment status – as well as spouses and caregivers.
MILWAUKEE - It may seem like opportunities to get the COVID-19 vaccine are popping up left and right, but some local leaders worry that vulnerable communities are still being overlooked. New changes and clinics announced on Tuesday, April 6 will increase opportunities for veterans and their families, and homeless individuals to get vaccinated.
The seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases rose again Tuesday to 634, the highest since Feb. 19. And the one-day total mark of 886 cases is the highest since Feb. 12.
Hospitalizations rose Tuesday to 275 patients, the highest mark in more than a month but well below the peak of more than 2,200 last November.
It is still too early to tell if this increase in cases is the beginning of a new spike. I think we are starting to see a new increase certainly, whether that increase ends up being a significant spike like we saw back in November or a smaller blip on the radar is to be determined, said Ben Weston, director of medical services at the Milwaukee County Office of Emergency Management.
