Measles, German measles, mumps and chickenpox are life-threatening illnesses to children with suppressed immune systems, pregnant women and adults who've never had those diseases. Vaccinations are a safe and effective way to protect all children. West Virginia Senate Bill 286 allows unvaccinated children to attend public schools, which is a risk factor we can't afford in our state. Sign the petition asking Sen. Ferns to withdraw SB286!

Delegate Cowles (R-58) has introduced a companion bill – HB2556 – in the House of Delegates. Don't let these bills compromise the health and welfare of West Virginia's population. Please sign and share this petition to let these lawmakers know we DON'T want exemptions for vaccinations!
