NY State Health Exam Requirements
NY State requires physicals and immunizations be done within the last year before the first day of school for new students and all students entering Grade PreK or K, 1, 3, 5, 7.
Starting September 2019, a licensed health care provider must use and sign the required New York State Health Exam Form. The new Exam form has a section, on page 2, to indicate that the required Immunization Record is attached or recorded in NYSIIS online database.
The completed NY State State Health Exam form is due within the first 2 weeks of the start of school. If the form is not handed in during that time period, the student will not be allowed to participate in physical education.
