Check the Vaccination Rates in Your Community
DHS released maps and corresponding downloadable data tables that break down COVID-19 vaccinations by new geographic boundaries. The new maps allow Wisconsinites to view existing COVID-19 vaccination data by municipalities (cities, towns, and villages), zip code tabulation areas, school district boundaries, and census tracts.

Know the Facts: Why People Who Had COVID-19 Should Get Vaccinated
Not enough is known about how long immunity lasts if you have had COVID-19 or whether you are protected against dangerous variants, like the Delta variant. That means you may be able to get sick again with COVID-19 or spread it to others. Getting vaccianted will help your body build protection against getting sick again. Plus, real world data show that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and are very effective at preventing COVID-19 illness, hospitalization, and death, especially against some of the dangerous emerging variants, like the Delta variant. Learn more about the benefits of getting vaccinated.
How to Prove COVID-19 Vaccination
As proof of COVID-19 vaccination is increasingly needed for travel, employment, and more, it’s important to understand the different ways to access your vaccination record or provide proof.
Vaccination Card
First, your vaccination card has information on when and where you received your vaccine as well as other helpful information related to the COVID-19 vaccine. Keep your card in a safe place! When taking pictures or posting selfies about getting your COVID-19 vaccine, do not post photos of your vaccination card online to protect your health information. Do not laminate your vaccination card.
Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR)
If you do not have your vaccination card, you may also visit the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR) for a copy of your complete vaccine record. Your record can be accessed whether or not you have a social security card or internet. To learn the different ways to access your vaccination record visit the WIR webpage or call 608-266-9691.
Reducing Barriers to Advance Equity through COVID-19 Vaccination
As part of our $6.2 million grant program to promote vaccine equity, local and tribal health departments, vaccinators, and community-based organizations are finding ways to ensure underserved and historically marginalized populations have the opportunity to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Here are a few examples of the work our partners are doing:
-
Voces de la Frontera held a successful mobile vaccination clinic on June 28 in Madison. They will be hosting a mobile vaccination clinic at 1221 Bellevue St. in Green Bay, WI on Sunday July 18 from 2:00 P.M.-4:00 P.M.
- The Hmong American Friendship Association will be hosting a virtual COVID-19 vaccination outreach event on July 18th at 7 P.M.
- The Urban League of Greater Madison will be hosting a vaccination event at the Madison Mallards’ Negro League Tribute Night outside the gates of the ballpark on July 22 at 6:35 P.M.
Want to Host an On-Site Vaccination Clinic?
Summer programs, sporting programs, faith-based, schools, community-based organizations or community events who want to hold an on-site clinic for a group of individuals ready to be vaccinated, can communicate their interest to DHS by filling out the vaccination clinic matching survey and learn more on the DHS COVID-19 vaccine partner resources webpage. Employers can also hold an on-site clinic for their employees and their families, visit our COVID-19: Businesses, Employers, and Workers webpage to sign up.
Feeling Sick? Get Tested.
There are unusually high rates of seasonal respiratory viruses circulating across the nation, public health experts also recommend that anyone experiencing symptoms—including those fully-vaccinated—get tested for COVID-19. To find a testing site, request an at-home collection kit, or to learn about testing support services, visit the DHS COVID-19 Testing webpage.
 COVID-19 Testing Available for Children at Schools, Child Care Settings, and Summer Camps
COVID-19 testing helps reduce community spread and keeps schools, daycare centers and camps operating safely. Testing children who have symptoms and their close contacts helps rapidly detect cases and reduce or prevent outbreaks. Testing also helps protect children who are not yet eligible to be vaccinated. We urge parents and guardians learn more about the benefits of school testing or child care testing. And be sure to ask your child’s school, daycare, or camp about how you can keep your children safe and healthy.
