MADISON, Wisconsin – Dane County health officials are celebrating progress in distributing the COVID-19 vaccine, but say there is still a long way to go.
“We have as many people vaccinated against COVID in Dane County as we have had positive results,” said Janel Heinrich of Public Health Madison and Dane County on Thursday. “It took approximately 37,600 people a year to test positive for COVID, and within a month, 38,660 Dane County residents were immunized with at least one dose of the vaccine.”
Health officials say more than 7% of the county population and nearly 10% of Dane county residents aged 65 and older have received the vaccine so far.
