Immunization Regulation

New York State Public Health Law 2165 requires all students to submit documentation proving immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. The following constitutes proof of immunity: two doses of measles vaccine and one dose each of mumps and rubella; blood test results showing immunity to each disease. Students who do not receive a Student Immunization Record as part of their admission packet may obtain one in the Health Programs/Immunization Requirements Office, 0710 James Hall, 718.951.4505.

New York State Public Health Law 2167 requires all students to submit a Meningococcal Meningitis Vaccination Response Form signed by the student or student’s parent or guardian, to the Health Programs/Immunization Requirements Office. Students who fail to return this form within thirty days from the beginning of the semester may not be allowed to attend classes. The form acknowledges the receipt of mandatory meningococcal disease and vaccination information. Vaccination is not required.
