Bill > SJR89

This resolution recognizes October as Vaccine Injury Awareness Month in Wisconsin, aiming to draw attention to individuals and families affected by vaccine-related injuries. The resolution highlights several key points: the black ribbon has been chosen as a symbol to represent the often sensitive and stigmatized nature of vaccine injuries, which can develop gradually and may be misattributed to other causes. It also notes that vaccine information sheets in medical settings might not fully disclose all potential adverse effects that are listed in manufacturer package inserts or post-marketing surveillance data. The resolution emphasizes the importance of informed consent in healthcare, which requires access to comprehensive information, including vaccine inserts, reporting systems like the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and OpenVAERS, and global resources such as the World Health Organization's VigiAccess system. By establishing this awareness month, the resolution seeks to provide support and recognition for those who have experienced vaccine-related injuries.
