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.

where dozens of recently arrived migrants have been camping out as they try to
secure temporary housing on August 02, 2023, in New York City. The migrants,
many from Central America and Africa, have been sleeping on the streets or at
other shelters as the city continues to struggle with the influx of migrants
whose numbers have surged this spring and summer.   (Alexi Rosenfeld/Getty

Typically, all students aged 2 months to 18 years old who will attend public
school, child care, or private school must be vaccinated  for a list of diseases
before attending, according to the New York City Department of Education. There
are some situations where a child can attend school if they have received the
first dose of a school-required vaccine which requires multiple doses.

According to the city's department of education, religious exemptions for
mandated vaccines are no longer allowed.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 15: US military personnel keep watch as asylum seekers
are transferred via city bus from Port Authority bus terminal to housing
facilities in the Bronx and Queens on May 15, 2023, in New York City. After
arriving from the Texas/Mexico border and  being processed by New York City
officials, the migrants are sent to various housing facilities around the NYC
boroughs. (John Lamparski/Getty Images)

"There have been some schools where they've gotten almost more than their fair
share," Banks said. "They got more students than others. Some of that is driven
by where the temporary housing is and so in those places we've worked really
hard to try and mitigate for that."
