The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 90, introduced by a group of Wisconsin Representatives and Senators, seeks to officially recognize August 2025 as Immunization Awareness Month in Wisconsin. This resolution highlights the importance of immunizations, particularly as nearly a million students prepare to return to school at the end of August and beginning of September. It emphasizes that state law mandates certain immunizations for K-12 students to ensure herd immunity and protect those who cannot be vaccinated.

The resolution underscores the significant impact of vaccines, citing that they are among the greatest medical advancements of the past century. It notes that vaccines have prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths in children and have a global impact, with the World Health Organization estimating that immunizations prevent millions of deaths each year from various life-threatening diseases. The resolution aims to promote awareness of the safety and necessity of vaccinations for public health.
