HB 2203 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

To eliminate vaccination requirements for public virtual schools

HB 2203 would remove vaccination requirements for students attending public virtual schools in West Virginia. Currently, state law mandates vaccines for all students entering public, private, or parochial schools. This bill amends §16-3-4 to explicitly exempt public virtual schools from these immunization rules. The change directly affects students enrolled in public virtual schools and the schools themselves by eliminating a mandatory health policy for that specific educational setting.
