Religious Exemptions for Vaccinations in West Virginia
According to the West Virginia Department of Health, families seeking religious exemptions to school vaccination policies are not required to provide detailed information about 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 apply for a religious exemption, families only need to provide basic information, including the student's name, school, parent's name, and mailing address, along with a statement indicating their request for a religious exemption.
The Department of Health considers such applications as a self-evident statement of the sincerity of the families seeking the exemptions, as stated in an affidavit by Justin Davis, interim commissioner of the state Department of Public Health.
Author's summary: WV health agency accepts simple statements for religious exemptions.
