The Wisconsin Department of Health Services stressed today that one does not need insurance in order to be vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and if one does have health insurance, then any administration fee charged to the insurance cannot be passed along to the insured. Also, no proof of residency or state I.D. is required to be vaccinated. The Wisconsin DHS has reiterated to vaccinators that ID and insurance are not required, and providers will receive followup from the agency.
