Sedgwick County health officials are closely monitoring the spread of measles in Kansas. Unvaccinated residents are the most at risk when traveling to areas with known outbreaks or when traveling internationally. While preparing for summer travel, both domestically and internationally, and returning to families at the end of the semester, Student Health advises you to review your personal vaccination history and refer to the Sedgwick County document for measles (MMR) vaccine recommendations.
Visit the Sedgwick County Health Department Measles site for additional information regarding measles data, symptoms and treatment, prevention and up-to-date local measles vaccination clinics.
Student Health Services can administer MMR vaccines and provide up-to-date information on its health advisories page. Call 316-978-4792 for more information regarding insurance coverage and costs of the measles vaccination, as well as discuss if you should receive an MMR booster.
