2009-A775B (ACTIVE) - Summary

Directs the commissioner of health to annually provide parents of children between 6 months and 18 years of age, who are in school, with educational materials on influenza and immunizations.

2009-A775B (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:A775B

TITLE  OF  BILL:   An act to amend the public health law, in relation to
providing parents of children ages six months to eighteen years  of  age
who  attend  licensed and registered day care programs, nursery schools,
pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, school age child care  programs,  public
schools  or  non-public  schools with educational materials on influenza
disease and influenza immunizations

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To ensure that parents of  children  in
certain  child  care  settings,  public  schools  or  non-public schools
receive information outlining the benefits of influenza immunizations

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill provides that  the
commissioner  shall  administer  a  program  of  influenza education and
outreach to parents and guardians of children ages six months  to  eigh-
teen  years of age who attend certain childcare programs, public schools
or non-public schools. The department of health (DOH) shall make  educa-
tional  materials  regarding  influenza  and  the  benefits of influenza
immunizations available on the department's website. The office of chil-
dren and family services, the department of education, and the New  York
City department of Health and mental hygiene shall notify such childcare
programs, public schools or nonpublic schools that information is avail-
able on DOH's website and that the information should be posted in plain
view  in anticipation of times of highest risk for contraction of influ-
enza as determined by the  commissioner  of  health.  "Organizations  of

child  care  resource  and  referral  agencies"  is added to the list of
groups from which the commissioner shall seek assistance and cooperation
in such education and outreach program.

Section 2 of the bill provides the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION: In 2007, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
(ACIP) made changes to the childhood immunization schedule that included
recommendations that all children aged six months to  fifty-nine  months
receive  a  yearly  influenza  vaccine. Influenza is a highly contagious
respiratory illness. That information was again updated to include chil-
dren up to age eighteen.

Each year in the United States, between five and twenty percent  of  the
population  is  infected  with influenza and approximately 36,000 people
die and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized due  to  complications
from  influenza.  Certain  populations, such as young children, are most
vulnerable. Given the large numbers of children who are in close proxim-
ity to one another in child care centers and schools, it is important to
prevent the spread of influenza with yearly vaccinations. The best  time
to  receive  the  vaccine  is  in  October or November. However, getting
vaccinated in December or later can still  be  beneficial  because  most
influenza outbreaks often occur in January or later.

This bill would ensure that parents of children aged six months to eigh-
teen  years of age receive valuable information on influenza disease and
the benefits of annual influenza immunizations.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A.8910A, 2007 and 2008 passed Assembly.  Same
as S.5118B, 2007 and 2008 referred to rules.

FISCAL  IMPLICATIONS:  Virtually none; the cost of providing information
on an already existing  public  website  and  disseminating  it  through
already existing channels.

EFFECTIVE  DATE:  This  act  shall take effect April 20, 2011. Effective
immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or  regu-
lation  necessary  for  the  implementation of this act on its effective
date are authorized and directed to be made and completed on  or  before
such effective date.
