Booster Shot Clinics Open for KCMO residents
The KCMO Health Department has opened three clinics to provide eligible residents with the newly approved COVID booster shots.
The added layer of protection has been approved for three groups of people:
- Age 65 and older
- Age 16-64 with underlying health conditions
- Those who work in high-risk jobs
You can get your booster shot six months after your second dose, and these booster shots are only for people who received the Pfizer vaccination. You can get your COVID booster and your annual flu shot at the same time at these clinics. First and second doses of the COVID vaccine are also available.
What you’ll need:
- Proof of earlier COVID vaccinations.
- Insurance isn’t required, but if you have insurance, please bring your information so the health department may be reimbursed for the administration fee. You won’t be charged this fee.
If you have questions about the booster or need help scheduling an appointment, please call 816-513-1313 Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. And remember that walk-ins are always welcomed and encouraged.

Need a Vaccine?
Communities Creating Opportunity is helping Morning Star Family Life Center on 27th Street, a COVID-19 vaccine distribution site in partnership with the Missouri National Guard, to fill appointment slots for the vaccine. Reach out to us (see below) if you live in our 5 zip codes (64109, 64127, 64128, 64130, 64132) and we’ll get you on the calendar.
Our community in Kansas City has at the same time been disproportionately affected by COVID deaths and seen lower vaccination rates. Help us reverse these trends, with a vaccine that has been thoroughly tested and marked safe by researchers and the FDA. Regardless of status (age, risk level, etc.), connect with us.
