New York State Supreme Court Says NO To Mandatory Flu Vaccinations For Kids 6 Months To 5 Years In Order To Attend Head Start, UPK, Pre-School Or Day Care

Wednesday, December 16, 2015, may become a day of ‘infamy’ in the annals of mandatory vaccinations.

On that day, His Honor, Judge Manuel J. Mendez, J.S.C., handed down the decision overturning a Mayor Bloomberg-era regulation requiring all children 6 months through 59 months of age must obtain a flu vaccine in order to attend pre-schools, day care centers and Head Start Programs regulated by the City of New York.

Interestingly, the Judge in his order wrote on page 6, “The Court of Appeals further stated that §558(b) of the New York City Charter ‘contains no suggestion that the Board of Health has the authority to create laws’.”

That very issue of authority to create laws should be challenged whenever parents, employees, or individuals are being force-fed the standard vaccine ‘dogma’ of “it’s the law” to get vaccinated or else you can’t work or your child can’t go to school.

Everyone who has done his/her homework about the ‘safety and efficacy’ of vaccines knows how dangerous they truly are, and should do as several NYC parents did: Brought suit against The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; The New York City Board of Health; and Dr. Mary Travis Bassett in her Official Capacity as Commissioner of the New York City Department of Mental Health and Hygiene.

His Honor, Judge Mendez further stated that NYC Board of Health, et al, lacked statutory authority to require such vaccinations. Here is the court order, which I think every parent should print out, study and save for future reference, as the judge got this one right, I say. Consequently, the NYC Board of Health, et al, are permanently enjoined from implementing and enforcing forced flu vaccinations on infants and toddlers in order to attend pre-schools, day care centers and Head Start Programs regulated by New York City.

Next, what needs to happen is a lawsuit against vaccine manufacturers challenging vaccine trials and the unfavorable data withheld, which was not presented during vaccine licensure applications.

Below is the official notice from NYC

Subject: Update on Influenza Regulation

 

Dear Child Care Providers,

 

As of December 16, 2015 the rule requiring “children age 6  to 59 months to be immunized each year before December 31 against influenza with a vaccine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration…” is no longer in effect.

 

However, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene strongly recommends the flu vaccine for all New Yorkers, especially those 6 through 59 months of age to protect children and the community.  Influenza kills an average of 24,000 people each year in the United States, and the virus is spread easily in child care settings to children and their families. Influenza vaccination saves lives and protects New York City children from this potentially severe disease.

 

All children in child care must continue to have complete age appropriate medical evaluations and must be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B, pneumococcal disease and haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). The detailed immunization requirements can be found at https://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/imm/sch-med-req.pdf

 

Be reminded that the annual New York State Department of Health Online Immunization School Assessment Survey (OSAS) is due in March.  To verify the vaccination status of children in your center, you may register for access to the Citywide Immunization Registry.  Having access to the Citywide Immunization Registry may help you complete this survey in a timely manner and remain in compliance with Article 47. 

 

Your cooperation is necessary to keep your child care program safe, healthy and in compliance.

 

Thank you,

Dear Child Care Provider,

The New York City Health Department is writing to inform you of the Health Code change that may affect the immunization requirements for children enrolled in your program. Between July 1 and December 31 of each year, all children between the ages of 6 months and 59 months and attending a group child care or school-based child care program must receive one dose of influenza vaccine.

This change is in addition to the existing requirements for DTaP (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine), polio, MMR (measles-mumps-rubella), varicella, and hepatitis vaccines. The complete list of immunization requirements for 2018 is enclosed. In order for children to attend child care, proof of immunization is required.

Please provide parents of children enrolled in your program the attached parent letter and medical immunization requirement document.
