Children's Hospital Opens 23 Measles Clinics

MILWAUKEE, WI — Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin has opened appointments for measles vaccination at 23 of its primary care locations.

Whether a child currently has a Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin primary care doctor or not, families can go online to chw.org/measles to schedule an appointment to receive the MMR vaccine. MMR stands for measles, mumps and rubella.

The clinics will provide the vaccine based on a child’s vaccination history in the Wisconsin
Immunization Record.

Families can check their child’s immunization record by going to chw.org/measles and
following the link to the Wisconsin Immunization Record. If a child’s record includes a
“Recommended Now” result for MMR, an appointment can be made online at a location
convenient for the family.

Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin is also sending letters to patients of Children’s Medical Group
who may be in need of one or both required doses of the measles vaccine.

Letters have been mailed to these households encouraging them to make an appointment with the family’s primary care doctor or through Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin measles clinic online scheduling.
