Immunization and Health Examination requirements

New York State Public Health Law mandates all students enrolled in PreK-12th grade, regardless of their learning virtually or in-person, to provide documentation that they have received all of their required vaccines. Students must be excluded from school if this documentation is not in place.  

REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS

New York State Law also requires a Health Examination for new entrants and students in grades Pre-K or K, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, & 11.

Completed Immunization and Health Exam forms may be mailed or faxed to the attention of the School Nurse at your student’s school.
