Judge Michael Froble had ruled that West Virginia parents could use religious beliefs to opt out of school vaccine requirements, but the West Virginia Supreme Court issued a stay pausing that injunction. The West Virginia Board of Education reinstated its directive to county boards not to accept religious exemptions, and Froble’s ruling is blocked pending resolution of appeals and further guidance from the Supreme Court.
