2024 Summer Roadshow
Kansas Academy of Family Physicians has received an Immunization Provider Enhancement grant from KDHE to increase the number of members enrolled in KDHE vaccination programs, as well as to support those enrolled with resources, training, and education.
During the 2024 program, KAFP traveled 1,469 miles to visit with 23 members at 9 clinics in these communities:
- Abilene
- Dodge City (Twice!)
- Lawrence
- Manhattan
- Montezuma
- Olathe
- Quinter
- Salina
One of the key highlights of these roadshows was the continuation of the Vaccine Administrative Stipend, designed to support and recognize members who have shown exemplary dedication to immunization efforts. KAFP rewarded this stipend to four deserving members, enabling them to invest in new immunization equipment and recognize their healthcare heroes.
The funds were utilized for various purposes, including the purchase of new immunization fridges/freezers, a portable vaccine refrigerator, adopting new temperature monitoring systems, and goodies to begin a positive reinforcement/improved therapeutic relationships program with patients when it comes to receiving immunizations.
If you are interested in the program or would like to apply for the Vaccine Administrative Stipend, please don’t hesitate to contact our grant project manager, Mishayla Moffitt Nichols, at mnichols@kafponline.org.
