• The COVID-19 Vaccine 411

  • KCSC is working hard to find ways for our clients and volunteers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. It is so difficult to understand why there is such a fragmented and patchwork approach to both testing and vaccines. It is a national problem and there appear to be no easy answers. 

    ​We are advocating especially for our homebound older adults, and for ways to reach those with low access to health systems.  

    ​Navigating constantly changing and confusing information from multiple sources about the availability of the vaccines, the Phase and Tier for which you might qualify, locations for vaccine clinics, etc., is in itself a full time job. We are doing our best to find and pass on the most relevant information about vaccine availability to older adults in Kansas City.  

    If you would like to receive information about the availability of COVID-19 vaccines, please complete the information below. We will then be able to reach out quickly to all those who are interested, and will alert you just as soon as we learn of vaccines available in the Kansas City area.  

    ​***Already had the COVID-19 Vaccine? You can let us know by completing the form. This will ensure we have a great record of the volunteers, clients and friends that have already received the vaccination once we are able to open up in person events.

  • Based on availability, and guidance from the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services (MO DHSS) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the COVID-19 vaccine will be distributed based on a pre-determined tier system. Individuals will be identified to receive the vaccine based on risk status and occupation. For information to verify your tier click here. Please check below which tier you believe you fall under:

  • ***** Please note that being added to the KCSC information list does not register you to receive a vaccine. 

    If you have another opportunity to receive a vaccine, please do so. Our goal is to provide our clients and volunteers with information to help you identify your earliest opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. If you are able to receive a vaccine before we have notified you about opportunities to register, please contact KC Shepherd's Center at 816-444-1121 or email us at info@kcshepherdscenter.org to be removed from the alert list.
