COVID-19 vaccine update for June 28

If you remember one thing: You can do the things you love more safely with the COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine is free, safe, and significantly lowers the risk of COVID-19 infection. Help yourself and help your community by getting vaccinated.

Easier vaccine access: In early July, Gundersen will begin providing COVID-19 vaccine during appointments in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. The vaccine will be available first to patients during Onalaska Family Medicine appointments before expanding to clinic appointments in La Crosse, Sparta, Tomah, Decorah, Winona and Waukon later, along with the Ashley Wellness Center for Ashley Furniture employees and their family members.

How to get the vaccine: Anyone age 12 and older, patients or non-patients, can schedule a COVID-19 vaccine appointment at Gundersen.

Convenient walk-in vaccine appointments are available at the Gundersen Onalaska Clinic 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays (Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson both days) and Thursdays (Pfizer, Moderna). The Onalaska vaccine clinic location is now closed Wednesdays and Fridays and will be closed July 5.

Walk-in appointments are also available at select Gundersen regional locations. Check MyChart or the list of Gundersen locations offering COVID-19 vaccine to call for availability.
