DOHMH cannot provide specific vaccination data on migrant children due to policy restrictions on inquiring about immigration status.
- DOHMH's policy prohibits asking about immigration status for those receiving services.
- Specific vaccination statuses of migrant children are not tracked in the City Immunization Registry (CIR).
- The department has general data on overall school compliance with vaccination requirements, but not specific to migrant children.
