[Lekooks] Fw: Covid vaccine

[Fran B.]

Dear Friends,
As of today, January 25, people 65 and over in Wisconsin are in line for the vaccine. We will be individually notified by our primary care physician or clinic when it's our turn. Hopefully we can all celebrate the vernal equinox together.

Hi Fran,



Thanks for reaching out.  There has been some confusion about registration for the vaccine, but Waukesha County is not registering adults over 65 years of age at this time.  Here is some information that I hope helps.  Please keep checking our website as new information is being uploaded daily.



As you might be aware, the State of Wisconsin announced that starting Monday, January 25, residents aged 65 years and older will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.  Unfortunately, this does NOT mean that you will be vaccinated on January 25th.  Waukesha County does not have a registry for those who are 65 years or older and wish to be vaccinated.  Residents 65+ who have a primary care physician will be contacted by their health care provider to make an appointment. This could take several weeks.  Until that time, we ask that you please do not contact your health care provider or Waukesha County Public Health directly.



Because the State has opened the vaccine to a large percentage of Wisconsin residents (65 years of age and older) there will be high demand for the limited supply of vaccine that is available.  The demand will likely exceed current demand, so your patience is extremely important.



The process for you to get a vaccine will likely be similar to the way you get a flu shot. When the vaccine is available locally, your healthcare provider or local pharmacy will let you know when it is available and how you can get it. Just like when flu shots are offered each year, there will likely also be additional community events available.



You can learn more about the Wisconsin Department of Health Services vaccinator program at: www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/vaccine-program.htm<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dhs.wisconsin.gov%2Fcovid-19%2Fvaccine-program.htm&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cf9d66fa698544b838b2008d8c150210b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637471897179990182%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=nUsX3YIGHINnblKVLcNOv7V8YAxvIGozxiYM9kfsc9M%3D&reserved=0>



You can also Waukesha County's vaccine webpage at: www.waukeshacounty.gov/COVID19<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.waukeshacounty.gov%2FCOVID19&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cf9d66fa698544b838b2008d8c150210b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637471897180000175%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Mh3UBMsm8WmQNefte3ESTwBHnBHKUDdLzETzOoVnn3A%3D&reserved=0>



The most important actions you can take now are to remain vigilant: Wear your mask, social distance, and wash your hands. Be patient. We need to continue to slow the spread of the virus while the vaccine begins to work. It will take many, many months to reach community immunity.



Regards and stay safe,



The COVID Vaccine Team
