Free KCKPS childhood school immunization clinic to be held Wednesday

The Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools district has partnered with Vibrant Health to help bring a free childhood school immunization clinic to Harmon High School from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 13.

Childhood immunizations are necessary for kindergarten to 12th grade students to attend classes during the academic 2022-2023 school year in the KCKPS.

This clinic is an opportunity for students to get caught up on their required and recommended vaccines, such as measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, rotavirus and more.

Childhood immunizations help protect children from deadly diseases and keep them safe by decreasing the spread of dangerous diseases from child to child. They contribute to ensure a safe and healthy school environment, according to a spokesman.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vaccines are tested to ensure that they are safe and effective for children to receive at the recommended ages. The most common side effects are typically very mild.

Children who attend the KCKPS clinic must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Families must also come with all available copies of their child’s shot records.

Health care providers will also offer the Covid-19 vaccine and booster shots at the immunization clinic.

Everyone who takes part in the immunization clinic will be given a free meal and qualified to enter a raffle (the first 100 people).

The event will feature music, food trucks, ice cream, a live raffle and more.

There is no charge for the immunization clinic. It’s free.

For more information about the childhood immunization clinic, visit the district website at kckps.org.
