[quote:Anonymous Coward 9606786:MV8xNzYzOTY1XzI5MzAyMDA1X0QyNDZCMkZE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1386821:MV8xNzYzOTY1XzI5MzAxNTQzXzRCMzdCRkM5] Uh, pretty sure all states have mandatory immunization standards for different school groups. This is probably just adding another vaccine to the list for that age group for that state. [/quote] Despite the wide-spread imposition of school vaccination requirements, many states provide exemptions for medical, religious, or philosophical reasons. These provisions vary state by state, with medical exemptions for children who may suffer adverse effects from the vaccine being the most common. Thus, all states allow medical exemptions for those whose immune systems are compromised, who are allergic to vaccines, are ill at the time of vaccination, or have other medical contraindications to vaccines. Generally, for a medical exemption, parents or guardians must provide documentation from a physician. Nearly all states grant exemptions for persons who oppose immunizations for religious reasons. Exemptions based on philosophical or moral convictions in opposition to immunization are less common but are provided by 20 states. States may specify that religious or philosophical beliefs be “sincere” or “conscientiously held.” The statutes allowing religious exemptions vary, with some requiring only a statement of dissent from the student, parent, or guardian, and others requiring a more specific statement regarding the child’s membership in a religious denomination that opposes immunizations. http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RS21414.pdf [/quote]

A new West Virginia law requires all seventh and 12th graders to be vaccinated for tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis and meningitis before entering the 2012-13 school year.
