County Vaccinating Critical Workers, Residents Aged 65+

Sedgwick County is now vaccinating residents who are considered critical workers in Sedgwick County’s Phase 2A are able to schedule an appointment for the COVID-19 vaccine along with residents age 65 and older, K-12 school personnel, and health care associated workers. Appointments are required to receive the vaccine.

Phase 2A includes public safety agencies, veterinarians, employees in licensed childcare/day care facilities, aviation manufacturing plants, meat processing plants, and public transportation (ground and air).

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

The drive-thru clinic will end operations for Dose 1 appointments at the end of this week.

Please arrive to your vaccine appointment no more than 15 minutes early and plan to allow at least 45 minutes for the vaccine appointment.

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/

If an online appointment cannot be made, the resident or their representative may dial (316) 660-1029 to schedule an appointment over the phone.

Representatives are welcome to join the resident at the appointment but will not receive the vaccine at that time unless they meet qualifications in one of the vaccine populations currently being vaccinated.

Please arrive to your vaccine appointment no more than 15 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.
