regarding children. As public health law stands in NYS, there are no non-medical exemptions from vaccination requirements for children. However, the CDC is not yet recommending nor is NYS mandating covid vaccination for all eligible students in grades 7-12.

The 2019-2020 changes in NYS public health law were largely the result of a terrible measles outbreak in Orthodox Jewish communities in downstate NY.

Can somebody tell me what possible medical exemptions are out there? MiniMe Sep 2021 #1
The only legitimate contraindication is allergy to a component of the vaccine, which is rare hlthe2b Sep 2021 #11
Those are 2 that I can see, and I agree with MiniMe Sep 2021 #13
Even individuals on oxygen from chronic COPD or lung cancer CAN and DO wear masks. hlthe2b Sep 2021 #16
