Johnson County Department of Health and Environment (Olathe)

We are still working through getting everyone 80+ vaccinated for the next couple of weeks or so. You will be contacted when appointments become available for your tier. We are also working with the health systems in the county so they can assist with vaccinating their patients 65 and older. Please check the hospital websites for more information about their vaccine programs if you are over age 65. Also check with pharmacies near you to see if they offer any vaccine for your age group.

Please fill out this form and we will notify you when we have vaccine appointments available: https://redcap.jocogov.org/surveys/?s=8KWLNLWWHL

Those who qualify for Phase 2 (age 65 and older, those who live in congregate settings, those who are high-contact critical workers) may visit https://redcap.jocogov.org/surveys/?s=8KWLNLWWHL to fill out the interest form. The survey site is currently experiencing heavy volume. If you are having trouble accessing the survey, please try again at a later time. This interest form is not an appointment and does not reserve a vaccine for you. Once the vaccine is available for Phase 2, JCDHE will contact you with further instructions on how to schedule an appointment to receive your vaccination.

If you are age 65 or older, please complete the vaccine interest survey form: https://redcap.jocogov.org/surveys/?s=8KWLNLWWHL and we will contact you when we have appointments available. If you are under age 65, you will be eligible for a vaccine in Phase 3 or Phase 4 which will likely not start until well into the spring. We will make announcements when we are ready to move into those phases.

JCDHE is asking health care practices/organizations to indicate their interest in getting the COVID-19 vaccine for their staff. JCDHE asks that one representative from the practice/organization complete an online form so JCDHE can begin to assess the number of health care workers wanting a COVID-19 vaccine. By completing the form, health care practices/organizations will be placed on a list and will be notified if vaccine becomes available. Vaccine availability is not guaranteed. The link to the online form is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JOCOCOVID.

JCDHE accepts cash, check, credit or debit card as payment for clients who are without insurance or who carry other insurance plans. Some services are based on a sliding-fee scale. Call (913) 826-1200 for additional details. The Johnson County Department of Health and Environment does not deny services for inability to pay. Private pay immunizations have to be paid at the time of service.

They will likely send you a private email or you will need to go into the health department to pick up paperwork

Please look at the date you received your first dose of your Pfizer vaccination on your vaccine card. You can get Pfizer starting 21 days or later. Please schedule for the 21st day or later so the people who need their second dose this week can have those appointments.

If you are age 65 or older, you are eligible for a vaccine in Phase 2, Tier 1.

A number of factors will determine who we will vaccinate after those age 80+. It will depend on the number of individuals in each group and our current vaccine supply. Keep watching your email for an invitation to schedule an appointment. Phase 2, Tier 1 is a very large group of our population so it could be a few weeks before you hear from us.

Please review our updated FAQs for information about vaccines for those age 65 and older: https://www.jocogov.org/covid-19-vaccine Your patience is appreciated as we work to get as many people vaccinated with the very limited supply we have.

We sent out emails to those who are due for second doses the week of Feb. 1 with a link to schedule their appointment. Please check your email and your spam/junk folder.
