First, second and third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are available on a walk-in basis at the Mission vaccination clinic. The clinic is located at 6000 Lamar Ave., Suite 140, Mission, KS 66202.
While the Mission office will serve as the primary vaccination site, individuals being seen for other services at the department’s Olathe walk-in clinic can also get a COVID-19 vaccination.
The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is now available to children age 12 and older in Kansas. A parent/guardian must sign the vaccine consent form for any child under the age of 18: dispenseassist.net/Covid.html or dispenseassist.net/spanish/Covid.html. Children age 15 and younger receiving a COVID-19 vaccination must be accompanied by an adult. A parent/guardian is preferable; however, the parent/guardian may designate a non-parent adult on the consent form to be present at the time of vaccination if the parent/guardian is unavailable.
Anyone who is considered moderately or severely immunosuppressed is eligible to receive a third dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at JCDHE’s walk-in vaccination clinic in Mission or any of the community clinics JCDHE hosts in Johnson County, Kansas. Those who are eligible must have one or more of the following conditions, treatments or diagnosis and have previously received two doses of an mRNA vaccine:
People who are eligible for the additional dose will be asked to sign this form before receiving the vaccine. The form will be available on-site or you can print and sign it before arriving at the clinic. The third dose should be given at least 28 days after completion of the two-dose series. These additional doses are NOT approved for individuals who received the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine. If you have additional questions, please call 913-715-2819, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Last week, a U.S Food and Drug Administration advisory committee endorsed Pfizer-BioNTech booster shots only for those who are 65 and older or at high risk of severe disease from COVID-19. JCDHE still needs to wait for the CDC’s advisory committee to make their final recommendations later this week and issue guidance before we can schedule booster dose vaccine appointments at our clinics. New public health information will be shared as it becomes available from our federal and state partners: www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/09/fda-advisors-ok-pfizer-covid-booster-seniors-high-risk-groups
Know that if you are fully vaccinated with 2 doses of a mRNA vaccine or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, you have strong protection against serious illness, hospitalization or death from COVID-19. If you are not vaccinated, we urge to visit your nearest vaccine provider and get vaccinated today.
For more about third doses for those who are not immunosuppressed, please see the latest from the CDC.
Each week the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment hosts several COVID-19 vaccination clinics across Johnson County, Kansas. Please see our updated list of clinics to find one near you.
