" More than 200 recognized for leading the way in protecting children?s health with vaccines"

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has awarded its annual Wisconsin BigShot awards [ [link removed] ] to 208 Wisconsin health care providers for their efforts to protect children against vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, and pertussis. The BigShot award recognizes and celebrates providers who are leading the way in protecting children?s health by ensuring their pediatric patients are up to date on their routine childhood vaccinations, based on 2023 immunization data collected by the Wisconsin Immunization Registry.

?We commend the dedication of our health care providers in safeguarding the health of children across Wisconsin,? said Paula Tran, State Health Officer. ?Childhood vaccination rates declined sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic, and these health care providers have taken the charge to get us back on track. By prioritizing childhood immunizations and regular well-visits, we can effectively curb the resurgence of vaccine-preventable illnesses.?
