COVID-19 vaccine

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Milwaukee Health Department have partnered to bring a mobile vaccination site to Fiserv Forum on Sunday, May 2, where any eligible fan attending the Bucks game can receive their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

The vaccination site will be located in the Panorama Club inside Fiserv Forum and will be open from 1 p.m. through the conclusion of Sunday’s game, which tips off at 2:30 p.m. All fans 16 years and older may visit the Panorama Club any time during this window to receive their first dose of the vaccine.

According to a press release, after fans receive their first vaccine dose on Sunday, Milwaukee Health Department officials will be on-site to schedule an appointment for the second dose to be administered at a future date. It is expected that the entire process on Sunday will take between 20-30 minutes for fans to receive the vaccine, which includes sign up, receiving the vaccine and a waiting period of approximately 15 minutes after the shot is administered.
