COVID-19 Vaccine
Updated February 26, 2021
When will COVID-19 vaccine be available for different groups?
We are in Phase 1A of the vaccine prioritization guidelines. We are currently vaccinating individuals in Phase 1A (first responders, nonaffiliated health care workers, fire, law enforcement, congregated settings, 65+ and older, etc.) We expect that it will take a few months to vaccinate everyone eligible in Phase 1A. We still do not have guidance from WI Department of Health Services (DHS) on who will will qualify for the COVID-19 vaccine under Phase 1B.

Potential Systemic Side Effects Occurring after COVID-19 Vaccination
Symptoms similar to COVID-19, such as fever, fatigue, headache, chills, muscle pain, and joint pain, can occur following the COVID-19 vaccination. These symptoms can be mild to moderate. They often occur within the first three days after getting vaccinated. Most symptoms resolve within 1 - 2 days of onset and are most frequent and severe following the second dose and among younger persons compared to those who are older (over 55 years of age).
Below are the frequencies of vaccine side effects observed in the Pfizer and Moderna clinical trials.
- Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine:
- More common: pain at the injection site (84.1%) fatigue (62.9%), and headache (55.1%).
- Less common: muscle pain (38.3%), chills (31.9%), joint pain (23.6%), fever (14.2%), injection site swelling (10.5%), injection site redness (9.5%), nausea (1.1%), malaise (0.5%), and lymphadenopathy (0.3%).
- Moderna COVID-19 vaccine:
- More common: pain at the injection site (92.0%), fatigue (70.0%), headache (64.7%), and muscle pain (61.5%).
- Less common: chills (45.4%), joint pain (46.4%), nausea/vomiting (23.0%), axillary swelling/tenderness (19.8%), fever (15.5%), injection site swelling (14.7%), and injection site redness (10.0%).
Immediate allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis) typically occur within 15-30 minutes of vaccination. Vasovagal reactions typically occur within 15 minutes of vaccination.
Cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, or loss of taste or smell are not consistent with post-vaccination symptoms, and instead may be symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 or another infection. Viral testing should be considered if someone has any of these symptoms. Positive viral (nucleic acid or antigen) tests for SARS-CoV-2, if performed, should not be attributed to the COVID-19 vaccine, as vaccination does not affect these tests.
