New York City closed a child care center in Brooklyn for failing to provide medical records as measles cases rise in the city
The New York City health department closed a Brooklyn child care program for repeatedly failing to provide access to medical and attendance records as the number of measles cases jumped by 15 percent in a week, city officials announced Monday.
There are two individuals associated with the school that contracted measles, though the health department is unsure whether the students contracted the disease on site, Barbot said. Ten teachers care for about 250 children at the center, health officials said. The school closure is the first since the city declared a public health emergency April 9, requiring mandatory immunization for unvaccinated New Yorkers in four Williamsburg zip codes.
The facility has been found in violation of health codes on multiple occasions since January 2017, including failure to conduct daily health assessments of the children in their care, failure to give periodic medical examinations to the children, failure to ensure children had the flu vaccine and one occasion when city inspectors observed school staff caring for children while they were themselves not healthy.
In a 2015 email obtained by POLITICO through a records request, Isaac Sofer — head of the vast network of schools known as the Central United Talmudical Academy — complained to Avi Fink, de Blasio’s former liaison to the ultra-Orthodox community, about the headline of a news article about how the city had too few day care inspectors.
