FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                                      October 25, 2021

Vaccine Boosters for Covid-19

All three vaccines have been approved for booster shots for those that are age 18 and above.

To be eligible for a boost dose, you must be 6 months from your 2^nd dose of Pfizer or Moderna and 2 months from your initial Johnson and Johnson dose.

If you wish to receive a boost dose you must schedule with the health department at 785-543-6850.  We have to order for next week by the end of the day Wednesday.  This is the way it will work each week.

Please be patient as we will have limited amounts of booster each week.  Please be flexible with the schedule of the health department as all three brands are approved at this point and we will need to keep to an organized process to get this done.
