MILWAUKEE - The City of Milwaukee received 2,200 doses of COVID-19 vaccine from the state this week about 44% of their weekly request, health officials said.

At the Wisconsin Center, nearly 300 vaccination appointments had to be canceled Tuesday, Jan. 26 due to weather. With staff and recipients worried about getting there safely, all appointments will be rescheduled for later in the week.
