=THANK YOU IMMUNIZATION PROVIDERS=

The Kansas Immunization Program would like to thank all of the Immunization Providers across the state for your commitment, dedication and perseverance in protecting Kansas Citizens.  Everyday providers like yourselves, whether it be Private, Public, Hospital or School based, help protect not only our 43,000 new babies born in Kansas each year from Vaccine Preventable Diseases, but also the adolescents and adults of Kansas alike.

Since 1995, you as providers have been the key in raising our 4:3:1:3:3 (4 DTaP, 3 Polio, 1 MMR, 3 Hib and 3 HepB) rates by just over 40%.   With your efforts, Kansas has risen from just under 36% in 1995 to 76% at the end of 2007!  This also places Kansas nearly at the national average of 77.4%.

As many of you know, 90% coverage is the Kansas goal for the year 2010.  For some, 2010 seems a long way off…for others, it seems just around the corner.  As a team, we still have some work ahead of us, but our goal is attainable with your help and continued hard work.

Thank you all for what you do and for the important role you play in keeping Kansas safe from disease.  Together we can make our 2010 goal become reality!
