A year ago today, I declared the first public health emergency in response to #COVID19. Today, Wisconsin leads the country in vaccine doses used, and with a third of Wisconsinites 65 and over fully vaccinated, Kathy and I were excited to join them by getting our second doses. pic.twitter.com/04Ob5UTGCQ
The governor received his first dose on Feb. 12, while the First Lady received hers earlier that same week. The two received the vaccine as part of the eligible group of Wisconsinites who are 65 and older.

“Like so many Wisconsinites, Kathy and I waited our turn to get the COVID-19 vaccine and, now with a third of Wisconsinites over 65 having been fully vaccinated, we’re excited to be able to join them,” said Gov. Evers. “I’m proud Wisconsin is leading the nation in using the shots we have available, and we’re going to keep working to get folks vaccinated as soon as we can. Kathy and I encourage every Wisconsinite to get vaccinated as soon as you’re eligible and remember to complete your vaccine series if your vaccine requires two doses.”
