In December, the Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of two COVID-19 vaccines, but what does that mean for people in Wisconsin? Shereen Siewert welcomes Dr. Jonathan Temte of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and Wisconsin Department of Health Services Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk for an in-depth look at COVID-19 vaccination and the latest pandemic news in our state.
The Deputy Secretary will share details about Wisconsin’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout plan and prioritization. Temte will discuss how vaccines work, how they promote herd immunity and why precautions are still necessary, even if the vaccine is highly effective.
