Fewer Kansans have gotten the flu shot. Is it too late in the season to get one?

For the best protection against the flu , federal and state health officials recommend most people be vaccinated by the end of October. As of Nov. 4 — only a few days after the recommended deadline — 497,791 Kansas residents, or 17.1% of the population, have gotten the flu shot, according to the latest data from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. So far, that’s the smallest percentage of Kansans who have gotten the flu shot since at least the 2019 to 2020 flu season, data shows. But that number may continue to climb as we get later into the flu season and as more vaccine records are uploaded into the state immunization registry. How many Kansans get the flu shot each year? Here’s how many Kansans got the flu shot each season since 2019, according to the KDHE’s Influenza Vaccine Data dashboard. The data comes from the Kansas Immunization Registry , where vaccines administered in the state are reported. The percentage rates represent “the approximate coverage estimate of the overall population that would be vaccinated against the flu.” Flu shots given each influenza season in Kansas 2019-2020: 792,274 (27.2%) 2020-2021: 850,922 (29.2%) 2021-2022: 862,342 (29.6%) 2022-2023: 832,602 (28.6%)

Kansas school districts must submit technology-use plans by July 1

School districts must submit a technology-use plan to the Kansas State Department of Education by July 1. With a 6-4 vote, the Kansas State Board of Education on Nov. 9 passed a policy regarding effective use of instructional technology in Kansas schools. The policy’s purpose is to get districts to provide “clear, complete and beneficial information” regarding how their schools use digital devices. “We need to really keep in mind this document is not going to settle and cure all ills,” Board Chair Cathy Hopkins said. “This is a starting place where we are asking districts to have the conversation to build a good plan, so that parents do understand what is your policy and how is that working out in every grade or grade band.” This is the latest step in addressing technology’s role in the school environment after Gov. Laura Kelly in 2026 signed a bill that banned cell phone use in schools , starting with the 2026-27 school year. The board started the process in August with a work session to establish the framework of the proceeding conversation. Officials used Wichita Public Schools’ guide for teachers — Future Ready Learning with Purposeful Technology — as a reference

Opinion: Will a new farm bill arrive in Kansas farmers’ stockings this holiday season? Don’t count on it.

During his reelection campaign, Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall trumpeted his role writing a new farm bill. It was minimal and apparently not enough. Democratic Sen.-elect Adam Hamilton said he would have voted to advance the Senate’s bill. Kansas politics rewards farm largesse and punishes parsimony — Sunflower State bipartisanship.

Kansas Democrat carries faith with him to Washington

HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) — Senator-elect Adam Hamilton, the Kansas Democrat and part-time pastor, is carrying his faith with him to Washington. Days after his defeat of incumbent Republican Roger Marshall, Hamilton arrived at the Capitol for orientation to a legislature with which he has little experience. The themes he's preached to his church, the largest United Methodist congregation in the country, found a home in his campaign, but his connection to Congress was only hypothetical up until last week's election.
