Can minors receive vaccinations in Wisconsin without parental consent?

Minors in Wisconsin currently cannot consent to vaccinations. Wisconsin does not have a statute expressly allowing emancipated minors (married/on active military duty/freed from custody of parents) to consent to their healthcare.

Call your county health department and let them know about your situation to make sure you know your options, if any at all.

As always, we recommend our guide to convincing vaccine-hesitant parents and sharing personal stories of teens getting vaccinations.
