Vaccinations from Public Health Madison & Dane County
We can vaccinate these groups of people for free:
- People who do not have health insurance
- People whose health insurance does not cover vaccinations
- Children (6 months to 18 years) who are on BadgerCare, or who are Native American or Alaskan Native
Where we offer vaccinations:
- We must wait until the Wisconsin Department of Health Services updates our vaccination orders before we can vaccinate with the fall 2023 vaccine.
- Once we have updated orders, we will have COVID vaccination at our South Park Street office on Mondays and at our East Washington office on Tuesdays. When we have updated orders and vaccine available, you can book an appointment online.
- Once we have updated orders, we will also have mobile clinics in the community throughout the week. See our map for a schedule. No appointment needed for mobile clinics.
Lost Vaccination Cards
We cannot issue replacement COVID-19 vaccination cards. If you've lost your card, follow these instructions:
I was vaccinated in Wisconsin
You can access and print your entire vaccination record using the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR). Your WIR record can be used in place of your vaccination card.
- If you have a social security number, Medicaid ID, or Health Care Member ID, you can access your record through the Public Immunization Record Access webpage.
- If you do not have one of these numbers, you can access your record one of two ways:
- Option 1: Fill out the Wisconsin Immunization Registry Record Release Authorization, F-02487 and have your records sent to you.
- Option 2: Ask the organization that vaccinated you to assign you a chart number in WIR. The chart number field is linked to the Health Care Member ID.
- Then, visit the Public Immunization Record Access webpage and enter the chart number assigned to you in the Health Care Member ID field.
I was vaccinated in another state
If you received your vaccination in another state, go to that state department of health website to determine how to get a copy of your record.
