MADISON, WI- (Wisconsin Radio Network) – Wisconsin health officials are warning that most state residents may not be vaccinated before next fall.
They say a COVID-19 vaccine is close. The first patients in the United Kingdom got the approved vaccine by Pfizer Tuesday. The same drug could be approved in the U-S by Thursday. But, that doesn’t mean life is about to get back to normal.
It will be a big job to vaccine everyone. Since the start of the pandemic, Wisconsin has tested about two-point-six-million people. To vaccinate everyone would double that number, and a little more.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is reporting four-thousand-114 new positive COVID tests, increasing the state’s total to 418-thousand-446 cases. Sixty-eight more patients died of coronavirus complications which brings the death toll to three-thousand-806. Two-hundred-14 additional patients are in a Wisconsin hospital being treated for COVID-19.
