Reading Time: 2 minutesWisconsin’s Department of Health Services is continuing to recommend that anyone over 6 months old get an updated, annual version of the COVID-19 vaccine. State officials say that will ensure that most Wisconsinites are able to get the COVID vaccine at pharmacies across Wisconsin without a prescription. And the guidance echoes what state and federal health officials have recommended in recent years. Wisconsin is now one of several states where health officials have moved to take statewide action on vaccines because of worries about how federal actions could impede vaccine access. Tony Evers issued an executive order directing the Wisconsin DHS to put out its own COVID vaccine recommendations.
