COVID-19 Vaccine
Everyone 6 months and older is eligible for vaccine in Wisconsin.
Most people ages six months and older are eligible for the new, bivalent vaccine boosters. On April 19, the CDC simplified vaccine guidelines for most people:
- Adults age 65 and older and immunocompromised people can get an additional COVID-19 bivalent booster dose.
- Monovalent (original) COVID-19 mRNA vaccines will no longer be recommended for use in the U.S.
- People ages 6 years and older who have already received an updated bivalent mRNA vaccine do not need to take any action unless they are 65 years or older or immunocompromised.
- For young children, CDC continues to recommend multiple doses which will vary by age, vaccine, and which vaccines were previously received.
As of May 8, our clinics are now able to provide these updated doses. If you're eligible, visit us at one of our clinics.

- At a pharmacy: Local pharmacies offer appointments for vaccination.
- At your doctor's office: Check if your provider is offering COVID vaccinations in their office.
- At Vaccines.gov: This website has details for thousands of vaccine providers.
Vaccinations from Public Health Madison & Dane County
- Vaccine appointments for people 6 months+ are available at our East Washington Office and our South Madison Office. We recommend appointments at our South Madison & East Washington clinics. We accept walk-ins, but availability is not guaranteed. If you need help booking an appointment, please call (608) 242-6328.
- People under 18 must have a parent or guardian with them when they arrive to be vaccinated. If this is not possible, they must be reachable by phone.
- If you have a COVID-19 vaccine card, please bring it with you to your vaccination appointment, so that we can add additional/booster dose information.

Lost Vaccination Cards
We cannot issue replacement COVID-19 vaccination cards. If you've lost your card, follow these instructions:
I was vaccinated in Wisconsin
You can access and print your entire vaccination record using the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR). Your WIR record can be used in place of your vaccination card.
- If you have a social security number, Medicaid ID, or Health Care Member ID, you can access your record through the Public Immunization Record Access webpage.
- If you do not have one of these numbers, you can access your record one of two ways:
- Option 1: Fill out the Wisconsin Immunization Registry Record Release Authorization, F-02487 and have your records sent to you.
- Option 2: Ask the organization that vaccinated you to assign you a chart number in WIR. The chart number field is linked to the Health Care Member ID.
- Then, visit the Public Immunization Record Access webpage and enter the chart number assigned to you in the Health Care Member ID field.
I was vaccinated in another state
If you received your vaccination in another state, go to that state department of health website to determine how to get a copy of your record.
