Vaccine mandate

A bill to add the Covid vaccine to a list of mandated shots for schoolchildren is a hot potato, its sponsor said.

“We went from being a New York institution to being an international institution,” he said, and “found that there are people who know who we are and know our reputation. And an amendment that would enshrine the right to an abortion in the state’s Constitution is gaining momentum. “People in recent years have tended to use the nickname 9-2-Y, and we’re modifying that with the new logo to be 9-2-NY.” But there are a lot of people who don’t. We think that making clear that we are a prototypical New York institution is something that will help define us,” he said. “We sure do!” she said, pointing to a jar of spoons. Wade — the 1973 decision that established a constitutional right to abortion — as state law in 2019 with the Reproductive Health Act, which removed restrictions on abortions, including a ban on the procedure after 24 weeks. The American Academy of Pediatrics continues to recommend vaccination for all children and adolescents ages 5 and older, including for those who were previously infected. “Some of it depends on what happens in the next couple of months,” he said last month. For example, 99 percent of Asian children ages 5 to 12 in New York City are fully vaccinated, according to city statistics. We’ll also find out why one of the city’s cultural institutions is adding “New York” to its name. A decision about Pfizer’s vaccine for 12-to-15-year-olds could come in the next few months. But Senator Brad Hoylman, who introduced the childhood Covid vaccine bill in the State Senate last October, said it was such a hot potato that it had not even been assigned a formal bill number.
