County Vaccinating Residents Aged 65+ and More

Sedgwick County is now vaccinating residents age 65 and older, K-12 school personnel, and health care associated workers at its COVID-19 vaccine clinics. Appointments are required to receive the vaccine.

Residents with appointments will have two locations to receive the vaccine Mondays through Saturdays.

223 S. Main, Wichita | Former Central Library | Clinic for health care associated workers and residents aged 65 and older who are active/can stand for periods of time

777 E. Waterman, Wichita | Wichita Transit Operations | Drive-thru clinic for health care associated workers and residents aged 65 and older who have mobility difficulties

Please arrive to your vaccine appointment no more than 15 minutes early and plan to allow at least 45 minutes for the vaccine appointment. Based on staffing, average wait times for appointments may range from 60 to 90 minutes.

Schedule an Appointment

To schedule an appointment with the County, the individual or the individual’s representative must register on behalf of the resident online: https://www.sedgwickcounty.org/covid-19/vaccine/schedule/

Representatives are welcome to join the resident at the appointment but will not receive the vaccine at that time. Vaccine appointments for people outside of the age 65 and older category will open at a future date.

For those aged 65 and older, if an online appointment cannot be made, the individual or their representative may dial (316) 660-1029 to schedule an appointment over the phone.

Please arrive to your vaccine appointment no more than fifteen minutes early and plan to allow at least 45 minutes for the vaccine appointment. The earlier you arrive to your appointment, the longer you have to wait on site.

Vaccine Questions

Contact your medical provider prior to the vaccine appointment if you have questions about how the vaccine may interact with your medical condition and medications you take.

Please direct general questions about the COVID-19 vaccine to (316) 660-1022; this line is not for scheduling appointments.

County Pledge

As more vaccine is received, the Sedgwick County Health Department will vaccinate more people while following guidance from CDC, KDHE, and Sedgwick County Health Officer Dr. Garold Minns. The vaccination schedule is designed to assure that all who want to be vaccinated will have that opportunity. The implementation of the vaccination schedule is dependent on the manufacturing and distribution schedule from vaccine providers. The County will not schedule more appointments than the vaccine available.
