Health Forms (2021-2022)

Annual Physical Forms Health exams forms (form CH205 from NYC DOH) signed and stamped by a physician must be obtained and given to the nurse's office annually. Health exam forms expire one year after the date of the physical exam.

Immunizations In compliance with NYS Public Health Law Section 2164, immunizations are required for all students to attend school in accordance with the ACIP-recommended schedule. Children must be excluded from the school if they don't meet immunization requirements for their academic grade or did not provide documentation of immunization within first 14 days of attending the school. Students in process of catching up with off-schedule immunizations or whose vaccines become due during the school year must receive all vaccinations within 14 days of becoming due or they will be excluded from school. Alternative vaccine schedules or spacing are not accepted in accordance with NYS Public Health Law. Note, mandatory immunizations do not currently include the COVID-19 vaccine.

The full schedule of immunization requirements can be found here.

Medical exemptions are only permitted if there is a documented medical condition that precludes specific vaccinations. Medical exemption forms must be completed annually for each vaccine for which an exemption is being requested, and will be reviewed by the NYC Department of Health for final approval.
