CHARLESTON (AP) — The West Virginia Board of
Education is supporting new schoolchildren vaccine requirements imposed
by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources.
The board says it has filed a friend of the court brief backing the requirements in a court case that challenges their legality.
Incoming
seventh-graders in West Virginia are required to show proof they have
received one dose of vaccines against meningitis, tetanus, diphtheria
and pertussis. Incoming 12th-graders must show proof they received
booster doses after age 16.
Those who are not vaccinated before or shortly after the school year begins cannot attend school.
The
vaccinations are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. Board
members approved a resolution on Wednesday endorsing the CDC's
recommendations.
"Immunizations are a vital part of public health
and help make sure our students are free from preventable communicable
diseases," state Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple said in a news
release. "We must take every step we can to keep our children as safe
and healthy as possible, and immunizations are essential. A healthy
child is one who is in school and can learn."
Six families sued
the DHHR earlier this year, claiming the agency does not have the
authority to impose new vaccine requirements for school children. The
lawsuit was filed with the Supreme Court.
Delegate Patrick Lane,
the families' attorney, has said the state code requires children
entering school for the first time to be immunized against diphtheria,
polio, rubeola, rubella, tetanus and whooping cough. He said the DHHR
cannot require additional vaccines without the Legislature's approval.
