Immunizations: COVID-19 Vaccine Data
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) continues to recommend the vaccine for Wisconsinites 6 months and older during this fall respiratory virus season. The nation’s leading medical organizations recommend that everyone 6 months and older receive the 2025–2026 COVID-19 vaccine. This is especially important for:
- People 65 and older;
- Those who are at risk for severe complications from COVID-19 especially infants and children under age 2, those who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or who have recently given birth; and children, adolescents, and adults with underlying health conditions;
- Those who have never received a COVID-19 vaccine.
If you have questions regarding payment of coverage of COVID-19 vaccines, contact your health insurer.
Staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines helps you have the best protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. For a better understanding of each of the available vaccines, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical trials, and the safety monitoring systems that are in place visit our COVID-19 Vaccine Safety and Effectiveness page.
COVID-19 vaccination data for Wisconsin is based on information from the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR), unless otherwise specified. WIR is an internet database that tracks vaccine records for Wisconsin children and adults. For more information on how to access your own vaccine record, visit the DHS WIR webpage.
Data is updated weekly.
COVID-19 vaccines for Wisconsin residents
This dashboard provides breakdowns of vaccines administered to Wisconsin residents by county. Data in the map represent the county where the person who was vaccinated lives, not where they received their vaccine.
Percentages represent the vaccine coverage of the selected geography. This helps us understand how well communities are protected from COVID-19.
We use Wisconsin Interactive Statistics on Health (WISH) query system totals to calculate vaccine coverage percentages. Because these are estimates, and not exact counts, it is possible for vaccination counts to exceed population estimates for some groups.
Please note: Demographic data, such as sex, race, and ethnicity, are not required to be reported in WIR. Therefore, this data may not be available for everyone who received a COVID-19 vaccine. As patient information is updated or completed in WIR, the number of vaccinations reported without demographic information may decrease.
Data source: The Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR)
Vaccination administration: The cumulative number of COVID-19 vaccines administered.
Vaccine dose: One vaccine dose is one vaccine product (like a shot).
Vaccination coverage: An estimated percentage of the whole population who have received a COVID-19 vaccine. This helps us understand how well communities are protected from COVID-19. It also helps us see which areas and groups are less protected.
Population estimates: WISH query system totals. Data shown are subject to change. Some examples of corrections or updates that affect an area’s coverage include:
- Removing duplicates or merging and consolidation of records
- Updating a patient's address to a different county or state
COVID-19 vaccination coverage in Wisconsin by demographics
This dashboard provides breakdowns of vaccines administered to Wisconsin residents by age, sex, race, and ethnicity. County breakdowns are shown for age and sex. At this time, data in WIR is based on sex (male/female) and does not capture gender identity. Additionally, race and ethnicity are documented separately in WIR, but combined for the data visualization.
*AI/AN includes American Indian or Alaska Native, Indigenous or Native American populations. Asian includes Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander populations.
Demographic information, such as sex, race, and ethnicity, are not required to be reported in WIR. Additionally, WIR cannot store multiple race variables for a single vaccination record, regardless of how many are reported. As such, demographic breakdowns of vaccine administration by sex, race, and ethnicity may be incomplete. However, these data are an important tool for identifying health disparities and can inform decisions to ensure vaccine distribution is fair and equitable.

COVID-19 vaccination coverage in Wisconsin by age group
The first graph displays the cumulative count of vaccines administered to Wisconsin residents by age group.
