DHS Community-Based Vaccination Clinics to Begin Ramping Down Operations
Multiple COVID-19 vaccination options continue to be available
Today, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) announced that the six DHS community-based vaccination clinics will gradually reduce hours of operation starting Monday, June 14. These locations include clinics in Barron County, Douglas County, La Crosse County, Marathon County, Racine County, and Rock County.
These DHS community-based vaccination clinics will adjust their hours based on local demand for the vaccine and gradually decrease hours of operations to 1-2 days per week. Hours and days will vary by clinic. To schedule an appointment and for hours, visit https://vaccinate.wi.gov(link is external) or call toll-free at 1-844-684-1064. The clinics will offer both Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson to ensure people will be able to complete their vaccine series before the clinics close. All efforts will be made to provide education and secure a second dose for all individuals at an alternative location at the time of vaccination.
In addition to the DHS clinics, there continue to be many options available for getting vaccinated including through:
- Pharmacies
- Doctors or health care providers
- Locally operated community-based vaccination clinics
- Local and tribal health departments
- Employers
- Pop-up clinics at familiar places including places of worship, barbershops, schools, and other community-based organizations
DHS encourages all Wisconsinites to get protected against COVID-19. To find a vaccine location in your community: visit Vaccines.gov(link is external), call 211 or 877-947-2211. From now until July 4, Uber and Lyft are offering free or discounted rides to and from your COVID-19 vaccine appointment. Learn your options and more at our DHS Find a Vaccine Appointment webpage.
