MILWAUKEE, Wis (CIVIC MEDIA) – Republican Senator Ron Johnson called for the state to lift its vaccine requirement for kids attending school during a visit to Milwaukee last week.

Senator Johnson commented that illnesses in kids can be attended to with better hygiene and sanitation, not just with vaccines. Children are currently required to receive vaccinations under state law.

Senator Johnson’s remarks come in the midst of a nationwide measles outbreak, with over 1,000 confirmed cases in over 30 states.
