West Virginia schools reinstate compulsory vaccine, banning religious exemptions after Supreme Court stay ruling

West Virginia schools have reinstated a compulsory vaccine mandate, ending religious exemptions after the state Supreme Court issued a stay on a lower court ruling. The Board of Education directed county schools to comply with the state’s vaccination law, affecting families who had sought exemptions. The move follows legal challenges to Governor Morrisey’s executive order allowing religious exemptions. A class-action lawsuit involving 570 families continues, while the state maintains one of the most comprehensive school vaccination policies in the US.
