Governor Tony Evers wants the state to get its fair share of shipments of COVID-19 vaccines.
Evers says Wisconsin has only received around 35,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine this week, much less than the nearly 50,000 doses it was supposed to be getting.
Evers says Wisconsin needs those vaccines because the state is seeing so many cases of COVID.
He also stresses that the vaccines need to make up for the lack of response he’s able to make because his office is hampered thanks to ongoing litigation.
The FDA approved emergency use of the Moderna vaccine on Friday and it begins shipping to states this weekend.
