UW Health has 8 times more vaccination appointments than vaccines available

MADISON, Wisconsin – UW Health has about eight times more scheduled immunization appointments than available doses.

The Madison-based healthcare provider released its new COVID-19 vaccine dashboard on Monday morning. According to the data, UW Health had 29,609 total scheduled immunization appointments and only 3,661 doses of vaccine on hand.

UW Health officials said they plan to reach out to postpone many scheduled vaccination appointments.

Dr Matt Anderson, senior medical director of primary care at UW Health, said the dashboard can clarify the process for patients.

“We get contacts from patients every day who want to know when they can get the vaccine,” Anderson said. “We hope this new dashboard will give them an accurate view of our immunization situation at all times.”

The dashboard contains information on the number of vaccine doses received by UW Health, the total number of doses administered, the number of scheduled appointments, and the total number of vaccines available.
