Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is tightening meningitis and chickenpox vaccination requirements for students. State Republicans are preparing to block the policy.
Wisconsin Republicans are preparing to again block a new policy from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers that requirestwice against meningitis and tightening student chickenpox vaccination mandates.
The committee's co-chair, Republican Sen. Steve Nass, called the new provisions"arbitrary and capricious" in an message to constituents. The rules committee blocked the policy in the last legislative session as well."Unfortunately, Governor Evers, the and legislative Democrats vigorously oppose the right of parents and adults to make free decisions regarding immunizations," Nass said in his message.
The health department also requires students to get vaccinated against chickenpox to enter every grade from kindergarten through 6th grade. In the past, a child was exempt if parents contacted the school district and said the child has already had the disease. Under the regulations beginning this fall, parents must provide evidence of infection from a health care provider to secure an exemption.
Families can still seek waivers from the meningitis vaccination and chickenpox proof requirements for medical, religious or philosophical reasons, just as they can for other vaccinations.
