KEWAUNEE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Kewaunee County has begun administering its first allocation of COVID-19 vaccines this week.
Starting Tuesday, health officials began administering its 200 doses of the Pfizer vaccine to those in Phase 1A, which includes healthcare providers, fire, police, EMS and skilled nursing facility residents and staff.
“We’ve only received 200 doses of COVID-19 vaccine so far, so we ask for patience. We first need to vaccinate individuals in Phase 1A, like front-line workers before we can vaccinate anyone else,” said Cindy Kinnard, RN, Kewaunee County Public Health Department Director.
“We cannot control how many COVID-19 vaccines we receive and when we receive them, but we can reassure you that as we get them, we will continue to administer them and with each vaccine received and given, we’re one vaccination closer to offering them to the general public. In the meantime, please continue washing hands, wearing a face covering and social distancing.”
If you would like to be placed on the waiting list to receive the COVID-19 vaccine when eligible, please call the Kewaunee County Public Health Department at (920) 388-7160 or submit a request on the Kewaunee County website.
