The Student Immunization
Law requires that all students through Grade 12 meet a minimum number of
required immunizations prior to school entrance. These requirements can
be waived only for health, religious, or personal conviction reasons.
In
past years, thousands of Wisconsin children caught diseases such as
measles, pertussis (whooping cough), and rubella, and many were left
with severe disabilities. The Student Immunization Law was passed in
order to keep these and other vaccine-preventable diseases from
returning and harming the health of our children.
