Should COVID Vaccine Be Mandatory For Wisconsin Students: Survey

When the COVID-19 vaccine is approved for children ages 5 to 11, should schools require students to get it? Let Patch know what you think.

WISCONSIN — Pfizer announced in September that its vaccine is safe and effective for children ages 5 to 11, and filed a request with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to have it approved for use. If that happens, should Wisconsin require students to get the vaccine in order to attend school?

Big school districts like Milwaukee and Madison already require employees to get vaccinated or be tested regularly.

Fill out our survey and tell us if you think the vaccine should be mandated when it's approved for younger children, and if you plan to have your young child vaccinated. The results will be featured here on Patch.
