Want to be fully vaccinated in just two weeks? Public Health Madison & Dane County is once again offering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at Alliant Energy Center. Since you only need one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, there's no return visit needed, and you're fully vaccinated two weeks following your shot.  Public Health is making it easy.

  • Appointments at the Alliant Energy Center are recommended but not required.  Book an appointment or drop in during clinic hours.
  • Prefer to get a vaccine other than Johnson & Johnson?  Need Pfizer vaccine for a 16- or 17-year old?  You can choose which vaccine you want if you schedule an appointment.
  • Get up to date vaccine information and clinic hours here.
  • The Alliant Energy Center Site is drive-up and walk-up – and free transportation is available!  After making an appointment, call 608-243-0420 to arrange a ride.
  • If computer access is a barrier, you can call 608-242-6328 and a team member will help sign you up.
  • Public Health will not ask for identification or about your immigration status.

A parent or guardian must accompany 16 and 17 year olds.  Read more about how after reviewing the latest data, the CDC is confident in the safety and benefits of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
