Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine
We no longer offer walk-in appointments. You must call our appointment line at (913) 684-6250.
Stay Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines and Boosters
You are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines if you have completed a COVID-19 vaccine primary series and received the most recent booster dose recommended for you by CDC.
Vaccine recommendations are based on your age, the vaccine you first received, and time since last dose. People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised have different
recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines.
- Munson now has appointments available for the 6 months – 4 years Moderna (bivalent) booster.
- The Pfizer-BioNTech (bivalent) booster is authorized for people 5 years of age and older.
- The Moderna (bivalent) booster is authorized for people 6 years of age and older.
People who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 — those who have had a primary vaccine series — and people who’ve had a primary series plus one or two additional boosters are eligible to get one of these new updated (bivalent) boosters. Find more information at
