A "new entrant" means any child entering a Georgia school for the first time or entering after having been absent for more than 12 months or one school year.

Immunization requirements have not changed for children entering prekindergarten and kindergarten or for those already enrolled in a Georgia school for grades 1-6 and 8-12.
