K.S.A. 72 - 6261 - Kansas Statutes Related to School Immunization Requirements and K.A.R. 28-1-20, published. On July 18, 2019, the Kansas Register defined the immunizations required for school and early childhood program attendance.
• Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTaP/Tdap): A dose of Tdap is required at entry to 7th grade (11-12 years).
• Meningococcal-Serogroup A,C,W,Y (MenACWY): Two doses required. Doses should be given at entry to 7th grade (11-12 years) and 11th grade (16-18 years). (11th graders who are not yet 16 years of age should wait to receive the dose until they are 16 years of age.) For children 16-18 years, with no previous MenACWY, only one dose is required.
