In case you missed it, check out the recording of this immunization webinar that WCRIS staff attended last week from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and the DPI. It explains how schools submit their annual immunization reports to their local health department.
All schools must file their report on the 40th school day, but there’s several other steps schools must take before then to help students get immunized. Those steps are outlined starting at the 17:24 time stamp and on pages 6-7 in the DHS school immunization booklet, which is referenced in the webinar. Here’s a checklist to help you.
Use this online survey to submit your report. Your local health department will have access to the data you enter in the form. With the exception of Amish schools, there are no paper forms to file.
If you’re looking for a five-minute explanation of the recent immunization changes, skip to the webinar’s 3:30 time stamp. DHS also posted a clarification. Read it here.
