Wisconsin DHS To Launch VaccineFinder To Find Vaccines Easier

MADISON, WI—The Wisconsin Department of Health Services will begin using VaccineFinder to help people more easily locate available vaccine providers who are open to the public, according to a DHS news release.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched the VaccineFinder tool in March to help people find COVID-19 vaccine in their area. Next month, the tool will replace the DHS map of COVID-19 vaccine providers that launched in February.

VaccineFinder gives users a more customizable experience when searching for COVID-19 vaccines. In addition to standard information, such as:

• Days and hours of clinics.
• Users will be able to filter their search by vaccine type.
• Adjust the search radius.
• See at a glance which vaccine providers have vaccine in stock.

DHS will continue to work with vaccine providers to ensure the data populating VaccineFinder is current.

People can also call the toll-free vaccine hotline at 844-684-1064 with questions or for help finding or registering for a vaccination appointment.

According to DHS, as of Thursday, 4,057,62 vaccines have been administered in Wisconsin. There are 732 new coronavirus cases also as of Thursday.

While more Wisconsinites become fully vaccinated, COVID-19 disease rates remain high and, therefore, it is critical for everyone to continue good public health practices.

Masking up, staying physically distant, washing hands, and getting tested continue to be crucial tools for protecting ourselves and our communities against COVID-19.

People who are fully vaccinated can review CDC post-vaccination guidance.
