MADISON, Wis. — University Health Services has been approved to start vaccinating eligible members of the campus community against COVID-19.
While UHS has been approved by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to vaccinate eligible individuals, the university has not yet received its first allocation of a COVID-19 vaccine.
“We appreciate DHS’s work to approve UHS as a vaccinator for COVID-19 and look forward to providing vaccine to our campus community as it becomes available,” said Patrick Kelly, a physician and interim director of medical services at UHS. “We know it could be many months before all of our students and employees can be vaccinated but this is an important and hopeful first step.”
Those who are eligible for vaccination should have received or will receive confirmation via email.
Vaccinations of frontline workers at UW Health started two weeks ago.
