MADISON, Wis. Starting tody, every Wisconsinite aged 16 and older is now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Gov. Tony Evers announced the state was opening up vaccine eligibility to anyone 16 or older that wanted the shot last week. By opening up eligibility starting today, Wisconsin is beating President Joe Biden’s goal of every state making everyone eligible for the vaccine by May 1st by about a month.

MADISON, Wis. – The two candidates to become Wisconsin’s next State Superintendent are making a final campaign push ahead of the April 6 election.
While the election itself is non-partisan, the two candidates, Deb Kerr and Jill Underly, don’t see eye to eye on every issue.
While both say it’s important to reopen public schools in Wisconsin, Kerr takes a more aggressive approach, saying it’s something she’d mandate.
“Our kids and families aren’t winning right now,” said Kerr, who most recently worked as a superintendent in the Brown Deer School District. “We need to get back into school right away. Five days a week.”
A Trempealeau County Sheriff’s deputy stopped 33-year-old Dajuan Cortez Thomas on Interstate 94 near Osseo on Monday for multiple traffic violations.
