• Immunization and Health Forms

  July 2022

  Dear Parent or Guardian,

  New York City has updated the school immunization requirements for the 2022-2023 school year. A list of these requirements for 2022-2023 is included with this letter. Before the school year begins, you must submit proof of immunization for your child if they are attending childcare or school.

  All students in childcare through grade 12 must meet the requirements for:

  • The DTaP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis), poliovirus, MMR (measles-mumps-rubella), varicella and hepatitis B vaccines.

  Children under age 5 who are enrolled in childcare and pre- kindergarten (pre-K) must also meet the requirements for:

  • The Hib (Haemophilus influenza type b) and PCV (pneumococcal conjugate) vaccines.

  • The influenza (flu) vaccine: children must receive the flu vaccine by December 31, 2022 (preferably, when it becomes available in early fall).

    Children in grades 6 through 12 must also meet the requirements for:

  • The Tdap (tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis) booster and

  MenACWY (meningococcal conjugate) vaccines.

  Please review your child’s immunization history with your child’s health care provider. Their provider can tell you whether additional doses of one or more vaccines are required for your child to attend childcare or school this year. Please note: If your child received doses of vaccine BEFORE the minimum age (too early), those doses do NOT count toward the number of doses needed.

  If you have questions about these 2022-2023 requirements, please contact your childcare center or school’s administrative office.

  Sincerely,

  Cheryl Lawrence, MD, FAAP Medical Director
  Office of School Health
