MADISON, Wis. It’s a humid Saturday morning inside the Alliant Energy Center pavilion. The space that would once test over 1,000 people per day is now a mass vaccination site.
Turns out, Wisconsin is home to one of the most vaccinated counties in the country.
The cars just keep coming. One by one, they get assigned to a lane, and wait for their turn to get their COVID-19 shot.
“Very happy. I think that was the biggest feeling,” said Fabio Morarrieta.
He’s an essential worker, so he’s been vaccinated for a while. But he’s there to assist his brother Andres in getting a shot, because he doesn’t speak English.

FITCHBURG, Wis. Wisconsin churches are investing in renewable energy. The sign says it all.
Drive on busy Fish Hatchery Road, you’ll see the message: “Powered by the sun and the Son.”
All Saints Lutheran Church now has solar panels. Pastor Kristin Woelk watched them be installed from her office.
“Midwest Solar did that work, and they were fantastic,” she said. “They were in and out of here in four days.”
The All Saints Lutheran congregation has wanted these panels for years.
“Maybe 2015 [or] 2016, they had had some conversations about it,” Woelk said. “But then their pastor at the time announced that he was retiring. And so everything went on hold.”
