Pharmacies, health centers, and clinics are expected to make appointments available as their booster doses arrive.?
?As we head into the fall and winter respiratory virus season, we encourage all Wisconsinites to make a plan to boost their protection against COVID-19,? said DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake. ?Everyone 12 and older is eligible for the added protection of the updated boosters.
