- The Department has developed new guidance, Immunization Guidelines for Schools, which is based on an older version that was available prior to 2018.
- The guidelines provide direction to schools on how to ensure their students are meeting the immunization requirements.
- The guidance also addresses how to handle certain situations including:
- Homeless Students
- Students in Foster Care
- Non-graded classes
- Refugee students
- Finally, schools will find direction for students not meeting the immunization requirements, along with documentation and record-keeping requirements.
- Questions may be directed to the Office of Student Support Services at studentsupportservices@nysed.gov or 518-486-6090.
