NEENAH, Wis. — ThedaCare has made some changes to it's vaccine process.
Patients can now go through a direct scheduling process and get an appointment online at the location that works best for them.
Patients will also have the opportunity to select a vaccine manufacturer if they have a preference.
“The pandemic is not over,” explained Dr. Mark Cockley, Chief Clinical Officer and President of ThedaCare’s Clinically Integrated Network. “The vaccines are certainly a turning point and we are making great progress in Wisconsin. It is important those who are eligible to receive the vaccine get vaccinated. If someone waits to get vaccinated, they run the risk of contracting the virus, spreading it to others, or contributing to virus variants that we continue to see around the country and in our area. The sooner we can vaccinate individuals with a vaccine that is deemed safe by the FDA, the better.”
To ensure coordination and continue our long history of delivering vaccines safely and effectively, ThedaCare will have five vaccine clinics open across our service area for the next several weeks. As vaccine availability across the country and state increases in the coming weeks, ThedaCare plans to open additional clinics.

Also, from March 31 to April 13, 2021, ThedaCare is expecting to receive 4,412 doses of COVID-19 vaccine. A majority of vaccine appointments are scheduled 7-10 days in advance. At this time, limited appointments are still available. Walk-in vaccinations are not available at this time.
ThedaCare has administered 42,828 vaccines from December 24, 2020 through March 28, 2021.
