(1) INDIVIDUALS
INCLUDED. The minimum immunization requirements authorized by s.
252.04, Stats., and required
under this chapter, apply to any student admitted to a Wisconsin elementary,
middle, junior or senior high school, or to a Wisconsin child care
center.
(2) REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
2021-2022 school year and for school years following the 2021-2022 school year.
(a) Table DHS 144.03-A, as qualified by pars.
(b) to (k), lists the number of doses of each required vaccine that each
student in the 2021-2022 school year and following school years shall have
received since birth for the age or grade of the student. These comprise the
minimum immunizations required under s.
252.04(2),
Stats. They do not, however, represent all the recommended immunizations
according to currently accepted immunization schedules.
Note: CR 19-079 did not take effect until
February 1, 2023, and the rule was therefore not in effect for the 2021-22 or
2022-23 school years.
(b)
Immunization against measles, mumps, and rubella shall be received no sooner
than 4 days before the student's first birthday. A second dose of MMR shall be

in the Senate and Assembly, in support of the JCRAR suspension.
Note: CR 19-079 did not take effect until
February 1, 2023, and the rule was therefore not in effect for the 2021-22 or
2022-23 school years.
(c)
The fourth dose of polio vaccine shall be received no sooner than 4 days before
the student's fourth birthday. A student receiving a third dose of polio

(e) For students
age 5 years or older who attend a school that does not use grades, the
immunization requirements are those for the grade which would normally
correspond to the individual's age. Immunizations are required for all students
age 19 years or older, as prescribed for Grade 12 in table DHS

prescriber, must document a reliable history of varicella disease by indicating
on the department's student immunization record form that the student has had
varicella disease.
Note: On March 9, 2023, the Joint Committee for
the Review of Administrative Rules (JCRAR) adopted a motion under s.
227.26(2) (d),

to s. 227.26(2) (f),
