Beginning March 1, state health officials made additional populations eligible for COVID-19 vaccination. Due to limited supplies of the vaccine, University Health Services (UHS) will not be able to immediately offer the vaccine to campus members who would newly qualify. Employees can learn more about campus vaccinations by attending a live forum on Thursday, March 4, from noon to 1 p.m., on the UW–Madison YouTube channel. A link to the Town Hall, as well as updates on the campus response to the pandemic, can be found at covidresponse.wisc.edu.
