NYC Public School Immunization Requirements Remain Unchanged

Dear Families,

You may have seen information in the news about recent updates to federal childhood vaccination recommendations. These updates do not affect the vaccines required for school attendance in New York City. The current New York State and New York City immunization requirements for students attending school during the 2025–26 school year remain unchanged.

All existing immunization policies and procedures for student attendance remain in place. For guidance, refer to the medical immunization requirements for the 2025–26 school year document, the 2025–26 Immunization Chart for Families, and the Guidance to Schools on Immunization Compliance document.

You can find information in multiple languages about the vaccines that students must have at the start of the school year, as well as the New York City vaccine schedule for children of all ages at Immunizations.

Families with questions about their child’s immunization status should contact their school or health care provider.
