Sedgwick County wants to help students get ready for the 2019-20 school year by ensuring they have the required vaccinations for attendance. Check with your primary care physician or the Sedgwick County Health Department (SCHD) to make sure your children who attend elementary, middle, and high school and early childhood programs licensed by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) are up-to-date.
The SCHD will provide immunizations for children age 18 and younger at the following Convoy of Hope Wichita Event locations at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 20:
