GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Prevea Health is partnering with two university campuses to administer COVID-19 vaccinations.
The planned COVID-19 vaccine clinics will be at the Kress Events Center on the UW-Green Bay campus in Green Bay and another in the gymnasium of the UW-Green Bay, Sheboygan Campus in Sheboygan.
They are expected to open in late January and early February.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) regulates which members of the community across the state can be vaccinated and when.
At this time, DHS has directed health care systems across the state to vaccinate only those they have designated to be in the Phase 1A category: health care providers and skilled nursing facility staff and residents.
“Securing these locations on the university campuses now ensures we will be ready to begin vaccinating members of the community as soon as the Wisconsin Department of Health Services gives us the green light to begin vaccinating those who fall under what DHS will define as the Phase 1B category, and all the phases that will follow,” said Dr. Ashok Rai, President and CEO, Prevea Health. “We are grateful to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay for their partnership on this historic and life-saving effort that will help to protect our community members from COVID-19.”
More details will become available on dates and who is in the next phase to be vaccinated as determined by DHS.
