Calling Kansas Safety Net providers working to improve immunization rates! The
Immunize Kansas Coalition (IKC) seeks to provide recognition awards for local quality improvement activities that support evidence-based practices and measurable increases in HPV, meningococcal and Tdap vaccination rates among adolescents in Kansas.
One $5,000 innovation grant will be awarded to a Kansas safety net clinic following the successful demonstration of an immunization rate increase in a clinical practice setting.
IKC wants to recognize these activities because Kansas adolescents (age 13-17) rank 41st in the nation for HPV vaccination rates and 45th for meningococcal vaccination rates.
Providers interested in the recognition awards must register their intent by November 30, 2017.
