Provide non-medical (religious/philosophical) vaccination exemptions


Provide non-medical (religious/philosophical) vaccination exemptions
The Issue
48 other states and the United States Military allow for non-medical vaccination exemptions. West Virginians deserve the same rights as those citizens. There are legitimate religious and philosophical reasons to selectively vaccinate. But in West Virginia, those with religious or philosophical objections to some or all vaccines are not permitted to send their children to public school. This must change!
We ask that the WV Legislature draft and pass a bill to provide parents with non-medical vaccination exemptions.
