All public and non-public Pre-K to Grade 12 schools must ensure that all students are up to date with
all mandatory school vaccinations, regardless whether they are attending school in-person, via
remote learning, or a hybrid model.
• Public Health Law § 2164 requires each Pre-K through Grade 12 student to satisfy certain
vaccination requirements as a condition of attending school. These requirements are listed in the
2020-21 School Year New York State Immunization Requirements for School
Entrance/Attendance.
• The New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) is the entity charged with enforcement the
requirement that schools comply with Public Health Law § 2164.
• NYS DOH finds there has been difficulty in obtaining required vaccinations as a result of the COVID19 pandemic, resulting in inability for some students to meet the vaccination requirements.
• NYS DOH is therefore suspending enforcement of required vaccinations for students to attend
school for a period of 30 days, only for students attending school exclusively remotely, if such
student intends to obtain the required vaccinations in the coming 30 days.
• For students using remote learning exclusively, if a school does not receive proof of all required
vaccinations by 30 days from the date of this letter, the school shall not permit the student to
attend, including through remote learning, until such proof has been received.
