Door County supports public safety over personal convictions when it comes to potential health crises. The Door County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution supporting Assembly Bill 262 which would change the options parents could put on daycare, nursery school and school records to opt-out of vaccinations for communicable diseases. Door County Administrator Ken Pabich says the bill would protect most parental rights. It would give public health officials the chance to reduce children's exposure to diseases such as whooping cough and measles.
Assembly Bill 262, which would eliminate the personal convictions option against inoculations, was introduced for consideration last month
