New immunization requirement for 6th grade entry
This requirement goes into effect beginning with the 2008 - 2009 school year.

The new rule states that a booster dose of Tdap vaccine is required for all children before entering 6th grade that are enrolled in public school, or by age 12 for those not atending public schools (i.e. private, religious, home schools) on or after August 1, 2008, if 5 years or more have passed since the last  dose of tetanus-containing vaccine.
