Teachers and childcare workers can begin receiving the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as March 1.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services announced the transition to the next phase of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout Thursday.
Other newly eligible Wisconsinites include those enrolled in Medicaid long-term care programs, public-facing essential workers, remaining health care workers and people who live in congregate living facilities, like prisons.
Of those groups, DHS Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk said educators are of the highest priority.
