MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) – Governor Tony Evers says everyone in Wisconsin will be eligible for the coronavirus vaccine on May 1.
State health officials said on Thursday that everyone in the state would be eligible in May. Hours later, President Joe Biden said he wanted states to make everyone eligible by May 1.
Evers said on Friday that the state will meet that deadline. Evers did not say how long after he became eligible, someone could be vaccinated.
Health officials have previously said that anyone who wants to be vaccinated will be able to get it in early July.
