WisEye Morning Minute: JCRAR on DHS Chicken Pox & Meningitis Vaccine Requirements

Adam Neylon (R-Pewaukee) and Department of Health Services Immunization Program Manager Dr. Stephanie Schauer on why the policy requiring documentation that someone has had chickenpox is necessary when vaccine exemptions exist.
