If You Need Immunizations for Work
Do you need vaccines for your job? Check with your doctor or look in the Wisconsin Immunization Registry to see what you've already had.
Some adult vaccines are free at our clinics if you do not have insurance that covers vaccines. See if you qualify for our Adult Immunization Clinics.
Child Care Providers
It is recommended that all child care workers get these immunizations to protect themselves and the children in their care.
Health Care Workers and Long Term Care Providers
Some immunizations are required, and others are recommended to protect you and your patients.
Immunizations Needed for Daycare and School
Daycare requirements
To protect children in group settings where diseases are easily spread, Wisconsin requires some immunizations for school and daycare.
School requirements
The Wisconsin Student Immunization Law says that all students through grade 12 are required to have certain immunizations based on their grade and age.
Some children can get free immunizations at PHMDC's Child Immunization Clinics.
Immunizations Needed for Travel
