IKC Advocacy Day 2024

Advocacy Day 2024

Thank you to all who joined us at IKC Advocacy Day at the Capitol! IKC members, partners, and community advocates came together to share with lawmakers the important role immunization plays in protecting all Kansans from vaccine-preventable diseases. Throughout the day we provided educational literature, hosted a legislative lunch, and heard from wonderful speakers during a press conference. We showed that when we come together to combine our talents and strengths, we can make great strides to protect our state from vaccine-preventable diseases.
