Wyandotte County residents who are 65 and older can now get ‘walk-in’ COVID-19 vaccine
Wyandotte County residents who are age 65 or older can now get COVID-19 vaccines without an appointment at one of the county’s three mass vaccination sites.
“We now have three mass vaccination sites and adequate vaccine doses, so we want to get our seniors vaccinated as efficiently as possible,” said Juliann Van Liew, director of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas, Public Health Department.
Those interested are asked only to bring proof of their age — an identification card or birth certificate — and proof of residency in Wyandotte County like mail or a utility bill.
The walk-in vaccinations are offered between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays at any of the UG Public Health Department mass vaccination sites:
▪ Former Best Buy at 10500 Parallel Parkway
▪ Former Kmart at 7836 State Avenue
▪ Kansas National Guard Armory at 100 S. 20th St.
