Make an appointment
You need to make an appointment to get a vaccine in Kansas. You can do this online or by calling the appointment line. The best time to get a vaccine is during business hours Monday-Friday. You may be able to get a vaccine on Saturday, but it will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis and you may have to wait in line. If you cannot make it during business hours, you can try calling the after-hours line.
When you make your appointment, you will need to give your name, date of birth, address, and phone number. You will also need to choose which vaccine you want: HPV, influenza, or both. You will be asked if you have any medical conditions that might prevent you from getting the vaccine. You should tell the truth so that the person giving the vaccine can take proper precautions.
You will need to show up for your appointment on time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your appointment may be canceled and you will have to reschedule.
