Sixth Grade Immunization
Requirements
Public health law requires children born after
Jan. 1, 1994 to have booster vaccinations for diphtheria,
tetanus and peruses upon entering sixth grade.
Students who are entering sixth grade or a
comparable age-level special education school or program on or
after Sept. 1, 2007, and who are 11 years of age or older must
receive an immunization containing tetanus toxoids, diphtheria
and acellular pertussis (Tdap).
If a student has received a Td, DT or DTap
vaccination within the last two years, the student's Tdap
vaccination should be deferred (with rare exceptions) until a
period of two years has elapsed.
Ten-year-old students who are entering sixth
grade will not be required to receive a Tdap vaccine and will
not be excluded from school, but they must be flagged, tracked
and immunized when they turn 11 years old.
Varicella Requirement
(Chickenpox)
Students born on or after Jan. 1, 1994 and
attending sixth grade must be immunized against Varicella
(Chickenpox).
A history of the disease or immunization date
must be provided by the physician. Parental recall of the
disease is not sufficient and will not be accepted.
Students who have not met these
regulations
have 14 days if they are an in-state student, or 30 days if they
are an out-of-state or out-of-country student, to complete these
requirements.
