West Virginia SB610 amends the process for medical exemptions to mandatory vaccination requirements for school children. The bill replaces the commissioner's right to produce a certificate of exemption with the right of a treating physician or advanced practice provider to produce a certificate. It eliminates the position of State Immunization Officer and provides that a medical exemption may be appealed to the State Health Officer. The final determination of the State Health Officer is subject to a right of appeal.
