Children's Hospital supports bill that would remove waiver from vaccination requirements

 

MILWAUKEE COUNTY (CBS 58) -- Children's Hospital says it supports legislation that would remove a personal conviction waiver from Wisconsin's vaccine requirements.

State Representative Gordon Hintz from Oshkosh introduced the bill.

Hintz says the legislation would increase immunization rates and reduce the spread of infectious disease.

Hintz sees the bill as a proactive measure after the rise in measles cases across the US.
