Directs the use of a standardized immunization exemption form for schools.
This bill amends the public health law to require the commissioner of health to develop a standardized medical immunization exemption request form for school use. Physicians, nurse practitioners, or physician's assistants must complete this form if they believe immunization may be detrimental to a child's health. The form includes details such as the child's name, birthdate, home address, and medical reasons for exemption. The commissioner's form will be the only required exemption form, and no other conditions or requirements can be imposed by any state agency for medical exemptions.
