Partnering with Kansas Parents
It isn't always easy to be a parent! But when it comes to vaccines, we want to help you stay up-to-date and informed so you can confidently make decisions for your family's health.
At all stages of a child's life, there are important vaccines they may need to receive. By talking with your doctor about your children following the immunization schedule guidelines you can give them a great start to a healthy life.
Here are some resources to help you get started:
CDC Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program
The Vaccines For Children (VFC) program helps ensure that all children have a better chance of getting their recommended vaccinations on schedule, which means healthier children, families, and communities. VFC is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to eligible children through VFC-enrolled health care providers.

All of us are exposed to germs, every day. Some can be dangerous and make kids very sick, such as measles, polio, and diphtheria.
