MADISON, Wis. It took just over a minute before emotions filled Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney as he talked publicly for the first time about plans to leave his current position.
And it’s hard to blame him. He has spent the past 41 years in law enforcement, serving all but one of those years with the Dane County Sheriff’s Office.
But things will change for Mahoney this spring. In May, he plans to retire from law enforcement and take on a new role at American Family Insurance.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has still not said who else is in the second group of people eligible for a vaccine, or when they'll be able to get a shot.
JANESVILLE, Wis. On Thursday night the Janesville School District announced that there would be no school next Friday to allow 1,300 district staff to get a COVID-19 vaccine through Mercyhealth.
But the Wisconsin Department of Health Services said teachers are not eligible to get vaccinated yet. Still, the school staff are planning to get vaccinated.
“Per Mercyhealth, the district is still on schedule to receive vaccinations next week as yesterday’s release indicated,” said Patrick Gasper with the School District of Janesville.
The state is still working to vaccinate the 1A population, which includes healthcare workers and nursing home residents and staff.

MADISON, Wis. In Wisconsin, exactly who will be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in group 1B hasn’t been decided just yet.
Tuesday morning, the State Disaster Medical Advisory Committee (SDMAC) Vaccine Subcommittee met to finalize its recommendations for group 1B, which will be sent to DHS. Their recommendations include people older than 70, people living in congregate settings such as Family Care, jails or shelters, and frontline essential workers such as first responders, childcare workers and educators with direct interaction with students.
