WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — As expected, Republican lawmakers have blocked a new meningitis vaccine requirement for Wisconsin kids.
The legislature’s rules committee yesterday voted to suspend the vaccine rules from the state’s Department of Health.
The rules would have created a new meningitis vaccine requirement for 7th graders, and changed the rules for the chickenpox in Wisconsin.
State Senator Steve Nass, a Republican from Whitewater, says the DHS went too far and acted on its own and the vote is a victory for parents and for the rule of law.
