MADISON, Wis. In Wisconsin, some people who are not eligible to receive a vaccine are still getting vaccinated. Although it can seem like people are cutting in line, it’s a result of extra doses at clinics.
Vaccinators are forced to decide how they can get those shots into arms as quickly as possible.
One of the most recent, notable examples is the vaccination of Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry. He tweeted that he got vaccinated last week because his wife’s uncle alerted them that there were extra doses that would go to waste.

MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) We know who’s supposed to be getting vaccinated against COVID-19 in Wisconsin. Healthcare workers and those over the age of 65–but others in the state are getting vaccinated as well.
That includes 33-year-old Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry, who was vaccinated this week at a senior care facility, ahead of even 69-year-old Governor Tony Evers.
“I, personally, and my wife have not jumped the line,” Evers said Friday. “are still waiting for our primary care physician to give us a call and we’ll go at that time.”
Lasry’s vaccination, according to DHS Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk, may not necessarily be a case of corruption, however. It could be a case of vaccinators trying not to waste vaccine.
