Bill > A06961

This bill amends the New York public health law to require children enrolled in overnight, non-regulated, summer day, or traveling summer day camps to be vaccinated against a list of specified diseases, including polio, measles, and hepatitis B. The bill provides an exception if a healthcare practitioner certifies that the immunization may be detrimental to the child's health. The Commissioner of Health is also tasked with promulgating the necessary rules and regulations to implement these new vaccination requirements for children attending these types of camps.
