Required immunizations
The following information pertains to New York State regulations and City School District of 91福利导航 policies governing School Health Services.
Communicable disease control is a primary responsibility of school and public health authorities. Mandatory immunization is one aspect of a comprehensive communicable disease control program.
New York State Public Health Law, Section 2164, mandates that schools not permit a child to be admitted unless the parents/guardians provide the school with a certificate of immunization. Any child whose vaccinations aren't updated will not be able to continue to attend school starting 14 calendar days from their first day. That means if your child started school on September 6, their last day of school is September 20. The only exception is for students from out of state, who have 30 calendar days from their first day of school to get their vaccines updated.
All of the immunizations below must be documented by your physician or health department, or must be from an official copy of the immunization record from the child's previous school.
A student may be exempt from any or all immunizations if a physician certifies that such immunizations may be detrimental to the child's health.
The required immunizations for school attendance are:
