Wisconsin health officials will move forward with the second half of Phase 1B vaccination groups next week, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story.
Included in the group to be vaccinated beginning March 1 are education and child care workers; people in Medicaid long-term care programs such as IRIS and Family Care; public-facing essential workers, such as 911 operators, public transit workers, utility workers, and food supply chain workers; non-frontline health care personnel; people in congregate living such as those in mental health institutions or people who are incarcerated; and mink husbandry workers. The groups are prioritized with education workers at the top of the list.
However, according to a recent Wisconsin State Journal report, COVID-19 vaccinations for teachers in Dane County have been delayed two weeks based on new guidance from the state Department of Health Services.
