The Immunize Kansas Coalition (IKC) is a group of more than 45 individual and organization members and over 100 engaged individuals with diverse perspectives - healthcare providers, health departments, researchers, healthcare payers, advocacy groups, nonprofits, and more - working together to improve vaccination rates and protect Kansans from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Current priorities for IKC are increasing adolescent immunization rates for HPV and Meningococcal (MenACWY); increasing influenza immunization rates for both children and adults; maintaining childhood vaccination rates throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; and strengthening vaccine confidence through education, awareness, and partnerships with trusted community sources.
Immunize Kansas Coalition is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
IKC has set the following five measurable goals to increase or maintain vaccination rates in Kansas.
- Increase the Up-To-Date HPV vaccination rate to 80% for both boys and girls by 2026
- Maintain the Meningococcal (MenACWY) vaccination rate at or above 80% through 2021
- Maintain the adolescent Tdap vaccination rate above 90%
- Increase the influenza vaccination rate for children (6 mo - 17 yrs) to 70% in the 2020-21 flu season
- Increase the influenza vaccination rate for adults (18+ yrs) to 60% in the 2020-21 flu season
