Vaccinations
Kansas City Kansas Community College highly recommends that all employees and students be vaccinated and obtain a booster when eligible. Being vaccinated cannot only save your life, it can save the lives of your friends and family, young and old. While breakthrough cases can happen, most all who are vaccinated and do contract COVID-19, have significantly reduced symptoms and avoid hospitalization. If you are not vaccinated, please do so.
Face Masks Welcomed
Following the CDC’s new guidance based on COVID-19 community levels, masks are no longer required at any KCKCC location. However, the college respects the personal choice of those who continue to wear masks.
