Religious! Exemptions for School Vaccination Policies
West Virginia public health officials acknowledge that families seeking religious exemptions to school vaccination policies do not have to elaborate on their beliefs.
The Department does not require any extrinsic evidence that the belief system is reasonable, logical, comprehensible, or part of a traditional orthodox religion.
To request an exemption, families only need to provide basic information, including the student's name, school, parent's name, and mailing address, along with a mention of religious exemptions.
The Department of Health accepts such applications as a self-evident statement of the sincerity of the families seeking the exemptions, according to an affidavit for Justin Davis, interim commissioner of the state Department of Public Health.
