I am a 79 year old Milwaukee resident.I have been unable to make an appointment for the coronavirus vaccine.How do I get vaccinated and where do I go to get vaccinated? Why is Milwaukee announcing 65 yr olds can now qualify for the vaccine when they haven’t vaccinated 79 yr olds like me?
James,
The best place to go to register to get the vaccine right now is HealthyMKE.com/phase-alerts. You can put your information in there and get alerts for when vaccines are going to be available, and get on the list to make an appointment. It might take a while yet, as the state doesn’t have vaccines for everyone. I’d also suggest reaching out to any health organization you’ve been with previously or a primary care doctor if you have one to see about getting the vaccine.
Hope this helps!
