COVID-19 Vaccines

COVID vaccines protect against serious illness, hospitalization, or death from COVID. Anyone age 6 months and older is eligible to be vaccinated. The COVID virus continues to change, which mean vaccine recommendations may change to respond to the virus. This is why an updated 2024-2025 vaccine will be available soon.

The CDC recommends that everyone who is eligible get vaccinated, and that everyone stay up to date with COVID vaccinations. Check to see if you are up to date on your COVID vaccines at: https://www.cdc.gov/covid/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html

The Wyandotte County Public Health Department (WYCO PHD) offers Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines for eligible individuals ages 6 months and older. 

The WYCO PHD provides COVID vaccines by appointment. Call (913) 573-8855 to make an appointment.

People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised (have a weakened immune system) are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 illness and death. Additionally, their immune response to COVID-19 vaccination may not be as strong as in people who are not immunocompromised. If you are immunocompromised, you may need to receive more doses of COVID vaccine than someone who is not immunocompromised.

Learn more about COVID vaccines for people who are immunocompromised.

According to the CDC website, the CDC no longer issues the white CDC COVID-19 Vaccination cards that were issued earlier in the pandemic.

If you lost your COVID vaccine card and need records of your previous COVID vaccinations, fill out the form below and email it to Wendy Dobratz, wdobratz@wycokck.org, and Betty Criss, bcriss@wycokck.org.
