RACINE COUNTY – COVID-19 vaccines remain in short supply both statewide and locally, Racine County officials reported this week. As of Monday, 19,822 county residents – or about 10 percent of the population – have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
The county’s two public health departments (City of Racine Health Department and Central Racine County Health Department) have very limited vaccination appointments available for Phase 1A (frontline health care workers, EMS, police and fire personnel, long-term care facility staff and residents) and individuals age 65+.

Residents age 65+ who have a local doctor are reminded that their local health care provider (such as Ascension, Advocate Aurora, Froedtert and ProHealth Care) will be reaching out regarding vaccine appointments. Please do not call doctors, clinics or hospitals for appointments.
Most Walgreens pharmacies in the City of Racine and the Villages of Mount Pleasant and Caledonia have COVID-19 vaccine appointments available for individuals age 65+ through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program.
