Promote the Flu Shot
The Kansas Quality Improvement Partnership is encouraging healthcare providers and organizations to raise awareness on the importance of influenza immunization rates in our communities. We want to increase rates of vaccinations across Kansas for the 2019-2020 flu season.
IKC Flu Immunization Goals
2019-20 Flu Season
IKC has set goals for the 2019-20 flu season influenza immunization rates for children and adults in Kansas. The goal is to increase the flu immunization rate for children (6 mo-17 yrs) from 63.3% last flu season to 70% this flu season, and for adults (18+ yrs) to increase from 46.8% last season to 60% this flu season.
For historical data on Kansas influenza immunization rates, see the IKC Data Dashboard tab for Influenza or check out CDC's FluVaxView Interactive! tool.
