Waukesha County Vaccination Network Expands With Fire Department

WAUKESHA, WI—Waukesha County’s network of COVID-19 vaccination sites is expanding as local fire departments host clinics to vaccinate Phase 1A individuals, law enforcement, and fire professionals, according to a news release.

Information about Waukesha County community vaccination sites will be available in February.

“Waukesha County’s community partners are stepping up as part of a historic effort to vaccinate our entire population,” said Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow in a news release. “The clinics we are holding now will create a large network of vaccinators so protection against COVID-19 can happen quickly and safely. Vaccinations will be available through resident’s trusted doctor, authorized pharmacies and community clinics.”

The partnership, led by the Waukesha County Fire Chiefs Joint COVID-19 Vaccination Task Force, supports Waukesha County Public Health’s multi-site vaccination strategy. This strategy increases the number of vaccines that can be administered per day and will alleviate pressure from the healthcare systems exclusively providing vaccinations to this point. Two fire departments are currently holding clinics, with three more opening up next week, the release said.
