The resolution introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature recognizes October 2025 as Vaccine Injury Awareness Month. This initiative aims to acknowledge and support individuals and families who have been affected by vaccine-related injuries. The black ribbon has been designated as the symbol for this month, highlighting the sensitive and often stigmatized nature of these experiences. The resolution emphasizes that vaccine injuries can manifest gradually and may be misattributed to other causes, underscoring the need for greater awareness and understanding.

Furthermore, the resolution calls attention to the importance of informed consent in healthcare, which necessitates access to comprehensive and accurate information regarding vaccines. It highlights the potential discrepancies between the information provided in medical settings and the more detailed adverse effects listed in manufacturer package inserts and post-marketing surveillance data. The resolution encourages the use of resources such as the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and global databases to ensure that individuals are fully informed about the risks associated with vaccinations.
