NYC Flu Vaccine Mandate Update and 3 New Vaccine Bills Filed in NYS Legislature
by the National Vaccine Information Center
We wanted to update you about the flu shot mandate for New York City Preschoolers and let you know that New York already has three vaccine related bills filed in the New York State Legislature that we are tracking.
We have posted a reminder below how you can stay in touch through the NVIC Advocacy Portal on the progress of these bills, our position on the bills, and what you can do to help.
FLU SHOT MANDATE FOR NEW YORK CITY PRESCHOOL AND DAYCARE
There has been some recent confusion for parents in New York City who have young children over whether or not their children have to receive a flu vaccine to attend day care or preschool because the rest of the children in New York don’t have to be vaccinated for flu.
Here are the facts to help clarify the confusion:
YES, New York City has Flu Vaccine Requirements for certain children.
Between July 1 and December 31 of each year, all children who are between the ages of 6 months and 59 months and attending a New York City licensed day care, Head Start, pre-K or nursery school, must receive one dose of flu vaccine.
This is in addition to state vaccine requirements.

HOWEVER, the state of New York has religious and medical exemptions for all required vaccines and this applies to the New York City flu vaccine requirement as well.
Please note that the law requires religious beliefs to be sincere and genuine, and that the rule allows for the principal or person in charge to require additional information for medical and religious exemptions.
See links below for the law and the rule that applies.

Leaving a lucrative career as a nephrologist (kidney doctor), Dr. Suzanne Humphries is now free to actually help cure people.
In this autobiography she explains why good doctors are constrained within the current corrupt medical system from practicing real, ethical medicine.
One of the sane voices when it comes to examining the science behind modern-day vaccines, no pro-vaccine extremist doctors have ever dared to debate her in public.
