Requires the immunization of certain post-secondary students against hepatitis B

This bill amends New York's public health law to require hepatitis B vaccination for certain post-secondary students. It adds hepatitis B to the list of immunizations already mandated for measles, mumps, and rubella under existing health standards. The law specifies that required doses must meet U.S. public health service standards and state department approval. The change takes effect on July 1st following enactment, applying to students at colleges and universities.
