MADISON, Wisconsin (WBAY) – Wisconsin continues to approach the two million “arm wrestling” and 700,000 people completing the state’s vaccine series.

A total of 1,251,433 doses of the vaccine were given to Wisconsin residents alone, which is equal to 21.5% of the population. This figure has increased by 20,341 in the last 24 hours. The seven-day average dose administered exclusively to Wisconsin residents is 25,034.
The population of Wisconsin is 5.822 million people.
According to DHS, a total of 267,474 doses of the vaccine were given to Wisconsin residents in the week of March 7, however, health officials say the number may fluctuate.
