NY A09077

Replaces all references to CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) guidelines throughout New York law with "nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines" for immunization recommendations and health policies

Defines "nationally recognized clinical practice" as clinical standards widely accepted by licensed healthcare professionals based on peer-reviewed scientific evidence and professional consensus, which may differ from federal agency guidelines

Establishes special criteria for COVID-19 vaccine administration, requiring providers to administer vaccines based only on age requirements, FDA safety determinations, absence of prior adverse reactions, and any state health commissioner requirements—without consideration of CDC/ACIP guidelines

Removes CDC from data-sharing arrangements, requiring the health commissioner to independently validate CDC data before use and limiting registry information sharing to what is determined by the commissioner or required by federal law

Amends approximately 30 sections across multiple New York laws (education, public health, insurance, labor, social services, mental hygiene, family court, workers' compensation) to eliminate CDC references and substitute state-determined or peer-reviewed clinical practice standards
