All children are legally required to get certain immunizations before they can be admitted to public or private school or day care facilities. You can get more information about your child's immunization requirements for school or day care.

As of January 1, 2015, New York City Health Department clinics adopted new health insurance and billing practices in order to comply with State law and Medicaid rules. If you are 19 or older, immunization clinic staff will ask for your health insurance information or a sliding scale fee based on your income and family size. If you do not have health insurance or cannot pay the fee, you will still get services.
