Immunization 2016-2024 (2016–2024)

Definition

Percentage of kindergartners fully immunized of all required vaccinations for school entry series by the age of 5.

Percentage of five-year-olds who are up to date with the Kansas school immunization requirements upon school entry and attendance. In 2016-2018, required vaccination coverage did not include HepA; however, HepA has become a requirement for Kansas schools since the 2019-2020 school year. Therefore, data from 2016-2018 should not be compared with later years. Hib and PCV are recommended vaccinations from The Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP).
