95.3% of students in NYC public and charter schools are in compliance with vaccination requirements.
- The compliance rate is for students attending grades pre-K through 12.
- The reported rate is as of earlier this week, similar to the rate at the end of last year.
- Prior to the COVID pandemic, the compliance rate was higher, at 98.5%.
- The decrease in compliance is attributed to issues discussed during the hearing.

So I can tell you for all of New York City, 95.3% of students currently attending public and charter schools in grades pre k through 12 are are in compliance.

This was as of earlier this week.
0:37:33
So this is similar to the compliance that was around the end of last year, but compliance prior to the COVID pandemic was 98.5%.

So we are below the level of compliance that we were prior to the pandemic, and some of the reasons are the kinds of things that we've been discussing during this hearing.
