Parents shouldn't be discouraged if their family pediatrician is booking appointments months ahead of time. Miller says that all immunization records should be brought to vaccination appointments.
State law requires that children have proof of certain immunizations at certain ages.
The proof has to be on an official Kansas Certificate of Immunization form, available at schools or from most health-care providers. The age requirements take into account changing state laws and vaccine availability. Beginning with the 1998-99 school year, students in all grade levels will need two MMRs. Not all insurance covers immunization costs. Vaccinations are offered at county health departments at minimal cost.
