MADISON, WI (WTAQ) — First responders will be next up for the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine in Wisconsin.

That announced Monday by state health officials who expect all 30,000 eligible police and firefighters will be able to get the vaccine if they so choose.

This comes ahead of any formal announcement on who will receive phase 1B of the vaccine distribution.

Health officials say the majority of front line healthcare workers in the state have been vaccinated.
