DHS Announces New Vaccine Requirements

There are new vaccine rules for Wisconsin schools and daycares.

The state’s Department of Health Services announced the requirements yesterday.  Starting this month, students must get a meningitis vaccine in the seventh grade, and get a booster by their senior year of high school.  DHS is also moving the whooping cough vaccine from sixth grade to age 11.  As for daycare centers, they can no longer take a parents’ word about chicken pox cases and will need proof from a doctor or a vaccine.  DHS says it ‘highly recommends’ a COVID shot for kids, but it is not requiring them this year.
