The flood of migrant families into New York City is forcing schools to accept children who lack required vaccinations and has possibly led to one outbreak already.
...
A top city health official recently told the City Council that a surprising number of migrant children who had never had a single shot were arriving in the Big Apple.
...
“We’re seeing so many unvaccinated kids,” Dr. Ted Long

An estimated 11,000 migrant children have enrolled in Department of Education schools since the summer.
The city Health Department tracks outbreaks of illnesses like chickenpox but refused to say how many it has recorded in city schools since September or comment on the Simon Baruch situation.

Carolina Chicaisa, who arrived in New York from Ecuador on Jan. 8, said her 8-year-old-son, Jareth, has been attending third grade at PS 111 in Hell’s Kitchen since last week without a record of his vaccinations.
“I had proof of them from Ecuador, but I lost them in the jungle on our way here,” Chicaisa said.

Students in kindergarten through fifth grade are required to get the chickenpox vaccine as well as the DTaP, MMR, polio, and hepatitis B shots. At least two doses are required for each of the vaccines.

DOE rules say schools must accept kids living in temporary housing, including asylum seekers, even if they can’t immediately show vaccination or academic records, according to guidance sent to principals in September.
“Students transferring from another state or country, including asylum seekers, have 30 days from their enrollment to provide evidence of vaccinations or be in the process of acquiring vaccinations,” the guidance says.

Bringing third world problems to the first world since 2020 - the Biden administration
Personally, I would be more upset that they are possibly (and likely) to be here illegally than I am that they may not be vaccinated for Covid-19. I’m also more concerned that they are not vaccinated for Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Polio, etc. rather than not vaccinated for Covid.
The Covid-idiots show their true colors as they worry about a cold that 99.8 people survive with nothing more than a bad cold, while at the same time they insist that anyone and everyone be allowed to come into this country without any medical check-up for infectious diseases at all.
““I had proof of them from Ecuador, but I lost them in the jungle on our way here,” Chicaisa said.”
Sure you did. SURE you did.
As the article states, students are not required to be vaccinated against Covid. The article is not talking about Covid vaccinations.
NYC? They voted for this. Sixty-six to seventy-five percent for Biden.
Don’t want to exterminate the “migrants.”
They are our replacements after the “vaccine” kills us all.
Yup. Total lie.
Outbreaks of TB and other communicable diseases are inevitable.

From these, Guatemala alone has never achieved high immunization coverage both at the country level or between communities (WHO 2016).”

So if the law requires proof of vaccinations(Not event talking about Covid) And these students don’t have that then the law is being broken and the people responsible for that need to be charged. After all US students have suffered immensely from not being able to attend school without all those vaccinations.
For those of you who don’t know, public schools are required to educate every kid who shows up who lives in the district. Legal/illegal, doesn’t matter. Local taxpayers get to fund the kid’s education. It’s not cheap in NYC. Since many don’t speak English there will even be more expense.
When I flew from Singapore to San Francisco airport in 2014, I felt like I was entering a 3rd world country. Ditto with the cruise terminal and underground highways in Singapore compared to pot holes filled CA highways & San Fran cruise terminal.
We should eliminate them first. They are here illegally, no more than roaches. Treat them with no mercy. They would do the same with you.
