The first group of Wisconsin frontline workers were vaccinated against COVID-19 Monday afternoon.
The shots were administered just after 2:30 PM, a few hours after the delivery was received at UW Health in Madison.
Doctor Matt Anderson says the recipients will be monitored for a brief time to make sure there aren’t any bad reactions, then they will get a follow-up shot in about three weeks. The senior medical director of primary care says the hospital has a plan to vaccinate all employees who want the shot.
SSM Health expects to get its delivery of doses possibly today (Tuesday) and Unity Point Health is expecting its shipment later this week.
