Although the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has announced that new groups are eligible to be vaccinated as of March 1, Waukesha County continues to experience limited supply of vaccine and providers have been directed to prioritize previously eligible groups. 

Please note that eligibility does not mean availability. At this time, Waukesha County’s Community Vaccination Clinic is serving priority groups based on vaccine supply. The next eligible group will begin to be incorporated when more vaccine is available. 

Eligible Groups Currently Served

  • Residents of long-term care
