*For those interested in vaccinations, please bring shot records and your insurance card if you have one. Insurance is not required and there is no out-of-pocket cost for vaccines.
All medical services are provided on a first come, first-served basis. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian with ID to receive vaccines, physicals, or dental screening.
The health fair will also feature community organizations providing important information on health, wellness, and community activities. Each participant will receive a free goodie bag, lunch, and a chance to win one of many door prizes.
For extra fun, kids can try to dunk local officials in a dunk tank and see local first responder vehicles. More information about Konza’s Back to School Health Fair can be found online at www.kpchc.org.
