Across Kansas, local health departments, providers, and community groups are continuing to hold free COVID-19 vaccine and testing clinics. As Kansas opens for business, vaccinations and testing are important steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Following the recommendations of both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC), all Kansans age 5 and older are eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. For those 18 and older, the FDA's emergency use authorization also covers the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
All fully vaccinated Kansans over the age of 12 are also now eligible for a COVID-19 booster shot. Kansans who are at least 12 years old and have met the 5-month time period following the primary vaccination series for the Pfizer vaccine are eligible for its booster dose. Those who are at least 18 years old and have met the 5-month time period following the primary vaccination series for the Moderna vaccine, or who had their Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago, are also now eligible to get the COVID-19 booster dose. Additionally, moderately or severely immunocompromised children ages 5-11 can now receive an additional primary dose of the COVID-19 vaccine administered 28 days after their second shot.
As of March 16, 2022, 62.3% of Kansans have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The events listed below are part of a sustained effort to mobilize Kansans to get vaccinated and/or tested to stop the spread of COVID-19 to protect themselves and their loved ones. Free testing is available to everyone in Kansas, regardless of vaccination status and even if you have been tested before.
Free COVID-19 testing sites can also be found via this interactive testing map.
At-home COVID-19 rapid tests are now available for free at covidtests.gov or by calling 1-800-232-0233. All households are eligible to order two free shipments of four at-home tests, which will typically ship within 7-12 days.
The Omicron variant is highly infectious and transmittable, accounting for the majority of recent COVID-19 cases in the U.S. Vaccines remain the best tool to protect people from COVID-19, slow transmission, and reduce the likelihood of new variants emerging. Additionally, it is recommended that people wear a well-fitting mask in public indoor settings in Kansas, regardless of vaccination status.
