To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The Department of Health Services is pleased to submit to you and the Legislature the Immunization Program Legislative Report for State Fiscal Year 2008. The attached report is required by Wisconsin Statute s.
252.04 (11).
Wisconsin continues to attain high preschool immunization levels and maintains a state of the art immunization registry. Highlights of the Immunization Program include:
• Attaining an estimated immunization level of 80.6% for series complete among preschoolers, ranking Wisconsin in the top 15 states in the nation;
• Maintaining and improving the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR), an information system that stores, tracks, recalls and assesses immunization information;
• Maintaining parental access to the WIR as part of Governor Doyle's Kids First Initiative;
• Providing a record $40.6 million in federally funded vaccines to Wisconsin's children in SFY 2008;
• Promulgating administrative rule changes to the Student Immunization Law to require adolescent Tdap and varicella (chickenpox) vaccine in selected grades and pnuemococcal vaccine in day care centers; and
• Maintaining strong collaborative efforts with both public and private sectors throughout the state in implementing the WIR and other immunization initiatives.
These successes help Wisconsin to achieve high immunization levels. The Department is committed to ongoing efforts that will continue to ensure that our children are safe from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Sincerely,
Karen E. Timberlake
Secretary
Referred to committee on Public Health.
