Bill > HB5106

This bill permits a religious exemption to the compulsory school immunization requirements in West Virginia. It allows parents or guardians to submit a notarized Certificate of Religious Exemption Form to the school admitting official, stating that the administration of immunizing agents conflicts with their religious beliefs or practices. The bill also authorizes the state health commissioner to grant, renew, condition, deny, suspend, or revoke exemptions to the compulsory immunization requirements on a statewide basis, based on medical evidence or specific precautions to a particular vaccine.
