Ricardo Perez, student at South Division High School, told his mother Maria about the opportunity to get vaccinated Monday
Monday was the first day any Wisconsin resident 16 and older was eligible to receive the free COVID-19 vaccine. Roughly a third of Wisconsin residents have received at least one dose of vaccine. Many more will be looking for a chance to get a shot in the coming days and weeks.
People can be vaccinated at the doctor s office, pharmacies, some places of employment and community-based vaccination sites. Ricardo Perez, a student at South Division High School, learned of the opportunity to get vaccinated by his teachers. He then told his mom and his sister and all three were in line Monday to get the vaccine.
