A bill just introduced in Madison would make it more difficult for parents to opt out on vaccinations for their kids. NBC26 gathered both sides of the debate.
In Wisconsin parents can say no to vaccinations legally for three different reasons; medical, religious or personal concerns. But it's that third option, personal reasons, that has the vaccination debate heating up again.
The number one reason for 90-percent of parents that opt out of vaccinations for their kids in Wisconsin is personal conviction. But a new bill proposes to eliminate that option, which is exactly what many states have already done. Many health care providers in northeast Wisconsin say they support the proposal while others say it's up to parents.
Tonight at 10:00 on NBC26 Eric Crest will break down what both sides of the discussion are saying.
