Star Journal Report

Along with  area health care systems and local pharmacies, the Oneida County Health Department (OCHD) announced it will be working to provide COVID-19 vaccine to people age 65 and older beginning next week.

Stated in a press release, “Currently, the demand for vaccine in Wisconsin far exceeds the amount of vaccine available each week and possible prioritization with the 65 and above group may be necessary, based on demographics and medical conditions.”

To sign up for a vaccine with the health department, visit the department website. As vaccine is received, people who have completed the sign up form will be contacted with a date to receive their vaccine.

The OCHD is also planning several vaccination clinics in the near future for those eligible to receive it. Wait times should be expected at any clinic.

There are no wait lists being formed for vaccines in future phases. People are encouraged to stay up-to-date on vaccine information by monitoring the OCHD website or Facebook page. 

Community members are encouraged to use all potential avenues for vaccination, including local providers and
pharmacies:
• Marshfield Clinic Healthcare System
Visit https://www.marshfieldclinic.org/CovidVaccine to complete a survey for the COVID-19 vaccine or call 877-
998-0880.
If you qualify, you will be contacted to schedule an appointment.
• Aspirus
Contact the COVID-19 hotline number at 1-844-568-0701 to schedule the vaccine.
• Ascension
Provider will contact eligible patients
• Your local pharmacy
Contact your local pharmacist

OCHD will provide information about vaccination and availability as it becomes available.
