Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to prohibit mandates for vaccinations of school children.
AI Summary
This bill, by amending West Virginia code §16-3-4, prohibits mandatory vaccinations for children as a requirement to enroll in public schools within the state. Previously, this section outlined specific vaccines children needed to receive, such as those for chickenpox, measles, and polio, and detailed procedures for exemptions and penalties for non-compliance. The bill removes all these existing provisions, effectively eliminating any compulsory immunization requirements for school attendance.
