Update on Immunization Requirements

As of June 13, 2019, the New York State Legislature passed, and Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a major update to Public Health Law 2164 which only allows for medical exemptions from immunizations only .

Accordingly, Cornell Cooperative Extension/4-H Day and Overnight Camps will no longer be able to accept any exemption other than a doctor issued medical exemption for vaccinations to help ensure public health and safety.

At this time, we are still in the process of reviewing all health forms submitted for enrolled campers. If your child’s immunization record does not indicate coverage required by this new update to Public Health Law 2164, your child’s enrollment in 4-H Camp Owahta will be cancelled and our office will issue a refund of fees paid for summer 2019.

If you have any questions, or need to submit updated records, please reach out to us at camp directly at (607) 391-2660.

Thank you for your understanding. 6/20/2019
