SB 415 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Requiring vaccine side effects be reported by medical professional to Bureau for Public Health

This bill requires medical professionals who administer vaccines to report all adverse effects and injuries to West Virginia's Bureau for Public Health. It mandates that providers receive annual educational materials about vaccine side effects and complete formal training every five years. The bill also creates a public reporting mechanism for individuals (including parents) to submit vaccine-related concerns directly to the Bureau. The Bureau must then compile an annual report for the West Virginia Legislature on these reported cases. The policy directly affects healthcare providers and patients receiving vaccines statewide.
