MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) – The latest numbers from Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services (DHS) show the state is seeing a declining number of people receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
According to the latest state data, fewer than 300,000 people received a COVID-19 vaccine during the week of April 18 (290,289). The state hasn’t seen fewer than 300,000 people receive a vaccine since the week of March 7. So far, the state reports the biggest week for vaccinations was the week of April 4, when 419,375 people received a vaccine dose. That was the same week the state opened up vaccinations to all residents who were at least 16 years old. During the week of April 11, the state says 349,128 people received a dose of the vaccine.
The DHS reports as of Monday, 1,834,240 Wisconsin residents (31.5%) are now fully vaccinated out of 2,452,970 (42.1%) who have received at least one shot. Wisconsin is averaging 14,229 people a day receiving a COVID-19 vaccine during the past seven days.
According to the state, another 6,433 people completed the vaccine series within the past 24 hours. Our calculations show on average, the state sees 31,423 residents completing the vaccine series per day. In addition, 25% of Wisconsin residents between the ages of 25 and 34 are now fully vaccinated.
Keep in mind vaccine numbers are lower on the weekends and on Monday, and vaccine numbers may be changed by the state as data continues to come in.
State health officials say vaccinators have administered 4,228,785 shots since December 13 to both Wisconsin residents and non-residents, an increase of 11,670 from Sunday. The state is averaging 44,754 “shots in the arm” per day throughout the past seven days.
The DHS reports out of the 3,255 people testing for the novel coronavirus the first time, 367 people tested positive, a positivity rate of 11.27%. Looking at all tests received in the past day, including people tested multiple times, the positivity rate’s 7-day average increased slightly to 3.2% after dropping to and holding steady at 3.1% for three days.
The state’s 7-day case average held steady at 603 for the second day. Before Monday, the case average had dropped daily since April 15.
Although state health officials reported no new deaths attributed to COVID-19 Monday, it wasn’t enough to change the average number of deaths per day, or the death rate. For the third straight day, the seven-day average of deaths in Wisconsin per day is 7, and the death rate continues to hold at 1.14%.
State health officials are promoting the CDC’s Vaccine Finder website to make it easier to find and schedule appointments near you.

Since February 5, 2020, the DHS reports 3,422,846 people in Wisconsin were tested at least once for the coronavirus. Out of these:
- 595,049 tested positive for the COVID-19 virus
- 29,003 were hospitalized (4.9%)
- 6,756 died (1.14%)
- 579,426 are considered recovered (97.4%)
- 8,600 are still active cases (1.4%)
HOSPITAL READINESS
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services says 34 more people were hospitalized for COVID-19 since Sunday, putting the state past the 29,000 total hospitalizations for COVID-19 threshold. That figure is far below the 7-day hospitalization average, which is at 58 hospitalizations per day. To date, 29,003 people have ever been hospitalized for COVID-19 treatment in Wisconsin.
As of Monday, the Wisconsin Hospital Association (WHA) reported 363 people are hospitalized across Wisconsin’s 136 hospitals, including 121 in ICU. That’s eight more patients in ICU than 24 hours ago. Taking discharges and deaths into account, there was a net increase of 13 patients overall from Sunday into Monday. The WHA hasn’t reported having more than 120 ICU patients at once due to COVID-19 since February 12 of this year, when there were 125 ICU patients.
In addition, the WHA reports Fox Valley hospitals were treating 26 COVID-19 patients, with 3 of them in ICU. That’s two fewer patients overall from Sunday, but the number in ICU increased by one.
Meanwhile, WHA officials say Northeast region hospitals were treating 29 COVID-19 patients overall, with 8 in ICU. The number of overall patients held steady from the past two days, however the number of ICU patients decreased by two for the second straight day.
In terms of hospital readiness, the WHA reports 293 intensive care beds (19.98%) of the state’s ICU beds) and a total 2,087 of all hospital beds (18.67%) in the state’s 136 hospitals are unoccupied. Total beds include ICU, intermediate care, medical surgical and negative-flow isolation, and these beds are for all patients, not just COVID-19. We use terms like “open” or “unoccupied,” but a hospital can only put a patient in a bed if it has the staff to care for them, including doctors, nurses and food services.
The Fox Valley region’s 13 hospitals have 11 open ICU beds (10.57%) among them, and a total 98 open beds (11.48%).
The 10 hospitals in the Northeast region had 36 open ICU beds (17.39%) and 230 open beds of all types (24.05%).

* Cases and deaths are from the daily DHS COVID-19 reports, which may differ from local health department numbers. The DHS reports cases from all health departments within a county’s boundaries, including tribal, municipal and county health departments; county websites may not. Also, public health departments update their data at various times, whereas the DHS freezes the numbers it receives by the same time every day to compile the afternoon report.
** The Michigan Department of Health does not release reports on Sundays.
CDC GUIDANCE ON GATHERINGS
The Centers for Disease Control have announced that fully vaccinated Americans can gather with other vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or social distancing.
The CDC’s recommendations also say vaccinated people can come together in the same way – in a single household -- with people considered at low-risk for severe disease, such as in the case of vaccinated grandparents visiting healthy children and grandchildren.
The CDC is continuing to recommend that fully vaccinated people still wear well-fitted masks, avoid large gatherings, and physically distance themselves from others when out in public. The CDC also advised vaccinated people to get tested if they develop symptoms that could be related to COVID-19.
COVID-19 TRACING APP
Wisconsin’s COVID-19 tracing app, “Wisconsin Exposure Notification,” is available for iOS and Android smartphones. No download is required for iPhones. The Android app is available on Google Play. When two phones with the app (and presumably their owners) are close enough, for long enough, they’ll anonymously share a random string of numbers via Bluetooth. If someone tests positive for the coronavirus, they’ll receive a code to type into the app. If your phones “pinged” each other in the last 14 days, you’ll receive a push notification that you are at risk of exposure. The app doesn’t collect personal information or location information, so you won’t know from whom or where, but you will be told what day the exposure might have occurred so that you can quarantine for the appropriate amount of time.
SYMPTOMS
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified these as possible symptoms of COVID-19:
- Fever of 100.4 or higher
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Chills
- Repeated shaking with chills
- Muscle pain
- Headache
- Sore throat
- New loss of taste or smell
