MADISON- Ten days after Wisconsin passed the one-million mark for vaccine administrations, the state’s more than doubled their efforts.
According to the Department of Health Services, 2,015,127 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered since mid-December. The two-million dose mark equates to 21.6% of Wisconsinites and according to state data 710,000 people are now completely vaccinated.

In Milwaukee the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) took over operations of the mass vaccination site at the Wisconsin Center on Monday. More than 126-thousand people in Milwaukee have been at least partially vaccinated.
On Monday the state confirmed 294 new cases of COVID-19, bringing the statewide total since the pandemic began a year ago to 569,932. A total of 6,536 Wisconsinites have died from complications of the virus since last March.
