Background:
During the COVID pandemic, Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) assisted the Milwaukee Health Department (MHD) with tracking and contact tracing the coronavirus in our schools and for students and staff in the city of Milwaukee. We are now asking for the two agencies to formally work together in the Wisconsin Immunization Registry to enter and update immunization data for our students. This MOU would serve as the written consent for the MHD to enter immunization for MPS studnets. The information would comply with the requirement in federal and state law and this action would reduce the number of students who are excluded from school in October during immunization exclusion week and their immunization record would be up to date.
