MADISON, Wis (AP) – Wisconsinites can sign up online later this month to get their coronavirus vaccine.
The state is working with Microsoft to set up an online sign-up system. Wisconsin Public Radio reports that the system launches Feb. 15 in ten communities.
The state’s plan is to use the communities as a test of the software before the system rolls out across the country.
Deputy Health Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk says users will answer questions about their age and occupation to see if they are eligible. If not, they go on a waiting list to be notified when they are eligible.
