West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice announced on Oct. 3 that there’s “no chance” he'll mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for children attending school.

When asked about whether he would copy a mandate signed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom to mandate vaccines for eligible children to attend class, Justice told CBS News that he won’t do it.
