The Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­Education Department (SED) and the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­Department of Health (DOH) are committed to ensuring that schools across Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­are adhering to state public health laws requiring vaccination of children prior to school admission. Given the recent media attention and the fact that DOH has confirmed three cases of measles in New York State, including New York City, recently issued a memo to schools in Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­as a reminder to continue to take all appropriate measures to protect New York’s students through ytheir responsibility to oversee children’s admissions to school.
