MADISON – This week, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services announced that people aged 65 and older are eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccine beginning Jan. 25. University Health Services has sent notices to about 1,800 members of the campus community from this group to invite them to make appointments to be vaccinated.
Individuals in this age group may also seek vaccine through their health care provider. For instance, UW Health has encouraged people to learn more about its vaccination process by visiting uwhealth.org/vaccine. UHS will only be able to provide vaccines to employees and students.
