Kids in Wisconsin will not have to get a meningitis shot to enter the seventh grade.
Both the Senate and Assembly yesterday voted to scuttle a new rule that would have required the shot. The vote also makes it easier for parents to oppose other vaccines for their children. The vote comes after the Evers Administration tried to go-around the legislature, and impose a vaccine requirement by state rule. The legislature’s rules committee struck down that rule back in March. Yesterday’s vote finished it off.
