2-5-21 vaccine demand

todayFebruary 5, 2021

The Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer says Fond du Lac County is like the rest of the state…not enough vaccine for the people who need it.   Last week alone, nearly 300,000 doses were requested by Wisconsin vaccinators, but only about 77,000 were delivered to the state.  Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says after two mass vaccination clinics were held in the last two weeks for seniors,  there is still no guarantee of vaccine for another clinic next week.  The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranks Wisconsin 29th in terms of the percentage of people who have gotten at least one dose.  It had been as low as  44th last week.
