I'm curious, as someone with no pre-existing conditions, not being an at-risk person, and not working in a field that would qualify me for the vaccine, when is it likely that normal/healthy people will be eligible in the state and how do we go about knowing when/where we'll be eligible? Any information you can provide would be super helpful. The Wisconsin DHS is keeping this website up to date: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/vaccine-about.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Speaking of Wisconsin, been habitually checking the Dane County (Madison) numbers .Hospitalizations have been on a steady decline since the holidays, and today hit 18 inpatients. Significant number, because the last time Dane County was there was about a 1 week period in each of May and June. At the peak of the outbreak, it was about 150 inpatients. We've vaccinated 55k people 65 and over in a total population of ~600k. People 65 and over represent about 15% of the US population, and applying that number here would mean we've got a total of 90k to vaccinate total. 55k is about 60%, plus you figure at least ~25% or so have had it already. You're talking about 75%+ total immunity in the population, and all the sudden the hospitals admissions are plummeting. Our old folks homes may be herd immune...

I know at least 2 people that have had and now have gotten the vaccine. I've had it and I could have gotten the vaccine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyPhil1781 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I know a lot of people that have had covid that have gotten vaccinated. I live in a small town also. Most are healthcare workers and I believe an old stat I saw said that they made up 15% of covid cases so it would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know the exact fraction of the total population that has had COVID, so it's difficult to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Was able to book my appointment for round 1 today, so I am excited about that! As bad as Virginia's rollout has been, I guess the rural community is full of anti-vaxxers and the like so they're not filling up. This medical center where we have a location is letting any and all employees from my company get the vaccine there - we're 1B by the way but VA was still under stricter restrictions on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
