Under no circumstances should the state of VA pass a law requiring a vaccine mandate for covid19 for students and staff at VA schools. This entire situation has become a political tug of war and has nothing to do with public health or science.  If VA really cared about mitigating this virus and protecting its citizens it would lift all medication restrictions placed on doctors and pharmacies, and would promote early treatment options.  But alas, this state has become East California and is run by a tyrannical corrupt dictator.  Follow the money people--that's all this is about (and maybe power).
