New York City: Migrants Exempt from Vaccinations
Migrants living in temporary shelters in New York City don’t need vaccinations to initially enroll in the city’s public school system.
Officials said during a press conference on Wednesday that migrants living in temporary shelters have a certain timeframe that the vaccinations need to be obtained by once they are in school, according to FOX 5.
NYC Schools Chancellor David Banks said that since July 2022, around 19,000 students living in temporary housing have enrolled in city schools.
Banks said that “We have room for the students,” referring to the migrant children who arrived in the city.
