Attacks on WV Immunization Law -- IT'S NOT OVER
by League of Women Voters of West Virginia 12 May '25

12 May '25

[image: lwv msn logo.png] The 2025 WV Legislature tried unsuccessfully to weaken WV’s best-in-the-nation immunization laws. Now, the Governor is trying an end-run with an 'Executive Order' to require school systems to provide religious or 'philosophical' exemptions to vaccinations, CONTRARY TO STATE LAW. The State Board of Education will discuss immunization policy at its May meeting — WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, @ 10 A.M. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you can, attend the meeting — BUILDING 6, SUITE 600, STATE CAPITOL. 2) Please send an email to the State Board of Education (ask that it be read aloud at the meeting) asking the State Board and Superintendent to uphold and enforce our present immunization requirements for school children with medical exemptions only. That’s state law. Send your letter to: christy.day(a)k12.wv.us Some suggested talking points: 1. With outbreaks of preventable diseases in other states — and multiple associated deaths — it's more important than ever for WV to protect our school children and the school personnel who teach and care for them. 2. The State Board needs to remain faithful to enforcing existing immunization law. 3. The Superintendent has our full support in enforcing existing law. 4. Include any personal experiences you've had with any of the diseases that are part of the standard immunization protocol for school children.
