Thank you for protecting WV’s strong vaccine laws

Dear [elected official],

I am writing to express my strong support for West Virginia’s vaccine requirements for school entry, which stand among the most effective in the nation at protecting children and communities from preventable disease.

For nearly a century, our state has led the way in safeguarding public health through strong vaccination policies. These laws not only prevent the spread of diseases like measles and whooping cough, they also save significant public resources by avoiding costly outbreaks, school closures, and the strain of emergency response on our healthcare system.

West Virginians overwhelmingly value these protections, and we are proud that our lawmakers have consistently prioritized science, health, and fiscal responsibility. By maintaining strong vaccine laws, you help ensure that our classrooms remain safe, our communities healthy, and our economy resilient.

Thank you for your leadership and commitment to protecting the well-being of all West Virginians.

Sincerely,
