ThedaCare is committed to providing the most current and accurate COVID-19 vaccine information regarding eligibility, available doses, scheduling access and answers to frequently asked questions.
From Apr. 7-13, ThedaCare is expecting to receive 1,500 doses of COVID-19 vaccine, which will include doses of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. A majority of vaccine appointments are scheduled seven to ten days in advance. At this time, limited appointments are still available. Walk-in vaccinations are not available at this time
“ThedaCare remains committed to the safe, reliable and effective distribution of vaccines,” said Dr. Mark Cockley, ThedaCare Chief Clinical Officer. “It is important to remember that each community and demographic is different. Some people may need to wait a bit longer than others to receive their vaccine. We appreciate the continued patience from the community as everyone will eventually have the opportunity to get vaccinated.”
ThedaCare targets to administer 10,000 vaccines per week, and continues to build a process that aligns with the doses received from the state.
ThedaCare has admin-istered 45,930 vaccines from Dec. 24, 2020 through Apr. 4. Teams were expected to administer the 50,000th dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday, Apr.10.
“The administration of the 50,000th vaccine from our system is a milestone,” said Dr. Cockley. “This is not the end of the pandemic, we have more work to do, and continue to focus on vaccinating all eligible groups, now including everyone 16 and older. Based on the amount of vaccine doses available, it will take time for everyone in Wisconsin to get vaccinated, and we are committed to doing our part.”
Currently, Pfizer is the only COVID-19 vaccine authorized for people age 16 and older. Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are both authorized for people age 18 and older.
