SB 1044 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: health insurance coverage of vaccines if recommended by certain organizations and consideration of recommendations of certain organizations regarding the state immunization program vaccination schedule.

This bill requires health insurance plans to cover vaccines recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for children under 6 years old. If the CDC withdraws its recommendations, insurers must instead cover vaccines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics or American Academy of Family Physicians. It applies to all health insurance plans, including self-insured state/local government plans, covering dependent children. The law ensures continuous vaccine coverage regardless of changes to CDC guidelines.
