New Meningitis Requirement
In July 2003, Governor Pataki enacted a New York State law that requires all college students to be educated about meningococcal meningitis disease and to sign a reply form stating that you have been vaccinated within the last ten years; or have received information about the disease and have chosen not to be vaccinated.
