Medical College Of Wisconsin Spends $489K On Vaccination Project

The Medical College of Wisconsin will work with the state’s Pharmacy Society on a two-and-a-half year vaccination project.  Although the work starts in Milwaukee, Green Bay and Wausau, the eventual goal is to make sure vaccinations are available all over the state — especially rural areas.  The first step is having drugstores offer immunizations to Wisconsin residents.  That will cost the college 489-thousand dollars.  The head of the Pharmacy Society of Wisconsin says the over-riding goal is to reduce the prevalence of diseases which could be stopped by vaccinations.  The work starts next month.
