The Associated Press is reporting New York's school immunization requirements have been updated for the first time in more than a decade. The State Department of Health says the new requirements for school attendance do not add any new vaccines for school entry, but they update the number of doses required and the minimum intervals between doses. The new requirements took effect Tues., July 1, and apply to students in daycare, Head Start, nursery, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten through 12th grade.
