MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) - More than 50% of Wisconsinites received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, the latest state health department numbers show.

The Department of Health Services reports 50.1% of the entire state population got a “shot in the arm” since vaccinations started December 13, 2020. That’s more than 2.9 million people. That’s up two-tenths of a percentage point since Friday’s report.

A total 46.7% of Wisconsinites are fully vaccinated, or more than 2.7 million people. That’s up almost a full percent since Friday’s report, adding 48,650 people to the tally.

Counting only adults, 61.0% received a dose, including 57.3% who are fully vaccinated, receiving one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine or both doses of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.

Population vaccinated, by age group

• 12-15: 27.3% received a dose/20.5% completed
• 16-17: 36.6% received a dose/30.6% completed
• 18-24: 41.3% received a dose/36.8% completed
• 25-34: 46.6% received a dose/42.7% completed
• 35-44: 54.9% received a dose/51.0% completed

  • Hispanic: 35.9% received a dose/31.5% completed
  • Non-Hispanic: 48.1% received a dose/45.1% completed

Wisconsin crawled toward the 50% milestone. Reports from vaccinators in the state show fewer doses were administered last week than anytime since December 27, which was not only a holiday week but a time when vaccinations were severely restricted to certain professions and age groups. Vaccinations declined week-to-week in 10 of the past 11 weeks since early April.

In WBAY’s viewing area, only Door and Menominee counties have more than half of their populations vaccinated. Brown and Outagamie counties are nearing that mark. Brown, Door and Menominee counties exceed the state average for being fully vaccinated.

The Department of Health Services says only 125 new coronavirus cases were identified since Friday, and only 24 positive tests in the last 24-hour period. This keeps the 7-day average at 72 cases per day, the DHS says, which is close to where we left it on Friday at an average 71 per day. The DHS hasn’t reported the 7-day average of the positivity rate since it fell to 0.7% last week, but by our calculations the 125 cases represent less than 4% of the 3,209 test results received over the last 3 days.

Nine more COVID-19 deaths were reported to the state since Friday, including two in Brown County. The DHS says none of these deaths occurred in the last 30 days, so they don’t count towards the 7-day average, which holds at 1 death per day.

State numbers also show 71 people with the COVID-19 virus were hospitalized over the past 3 days. To date, 5% of all coronavirus infections have resulted in hospitalizations. The Wisconsin Hospital Association reports after taking hospital discharges and deaths into account, there were 84 COVID-19 patients in the state’s hospitals Monday, compared to 96 on Friday. Twenty-six of these patients are in intensive care, 5 fewer than last week.

Nine of the patients are in the Northeast health care region, with exactly one-third of them in intensive care. There were 3 patients in ICU on Friday, too, but there are 2 fewer patients overall. Fox Valley hospitals are treating 3 COVID-19 patients, 1 fewer than Friday, with none in ICU.

February 5, 2020, to June 28, 2021:

• 612,632 confirmed coronavirus cases
• 32,121 hospitalizations (5%)
• 7,289 deaths (1.19%)
• 2,176 cases still active (<1%)
• 602,822 considered recovered (98%)

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Wisconsin Hospital Association and Michigan Department of Health do not update reports on weekends.

** Cases and deaths are from state 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.
