The Immunize Kansas Coalition (IKC) launched its #KansasFightsFlu Collegiate Challenge. This campaign was created by Immunize Kansas Coalition, KFMC Health Improvement Partners, and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The Collegiate Challenge aims to help colleges and universities in Kansas promote their yearly flu clinics and ultimately raise the rates of flu vaccination among their students. This year, nine colleges and universities are participating in the Collegiate Challenge across the state of Kansas.
The #KansasFightsFlu web page includes a Data Dashboard, which monitors the percentage of students that have completed an after-vaccination survey and tracks, by school, students vaccinated against flu. A fully equipped social media toolkit is also housed on the landing page with social media graphics and messaging to help guide educational outreach towards students. In addition to digital resources, there is a complete campaign toolkit designed to help student health clinics and school administrators develop a plan to improve flu vaccination on campus.
Many schools and universities are planning to hold or have held vaccination events for the fall and the flu vaccine numbers are coming in daily. No matter who wins the #KansasFightsFlu Collegiate Challenge, we all win as we raise flu vaccination rates and keep students and communities healthy.
