Kansas City VA Holds COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic in Hickman Mills

The Kansas City VA Medical Center (KCVA) continues to offer COVID-19 vaccinations across the Kansas City metro and beyond, and now enrolled Veterans don’t need an appointment to receive the vaccine. This week’s clinic is in the Hickman Mills neighborhood of Kansas City.

This week’s first-dose vaccine clinic is at Memorial Missionary Baptist Church, 11424 Hickman Mills Dr., Kansas City, MO 64134:

Friday, March 26 from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (Pfizer)

Veterans can call 816-922-2619 to schedule a vaccination appointment.

According to the KCVA Medical Center Director, David Isaacks, the vaccine team has expanded vaccine availability to all Veterans and made receiving a vaccination even more convenient.

“We have opened all future vaccine clinics to walk-ins for all enrolled Veterans of any age,” said Isaacks. “Appointments are still highly encouraged to guarantee a vaccine dose, but KCVA will provide vaccinations to eligible Veterans on a ‘first come, first served’ basis if they walk-in to one of our vaccine clinics.”

“We have administered more than 30,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses to date and during this week’s Hickman Hills clinic we have another 1,200 vaccine doses available for area Veterans,” Isaacks said.
Veterans must be enrolled in VA health care to receive a COVID-19 vaccination through KCVA. If a Veteran is not sure of his/her eligibility status, please call 404-828-5257 to check eligibility or enroll by telephone.

“Our healthcare professionals are currently managing first dose vaccinations of Janssen, Moderna and Pfizer, along with implementing second dose vaccinations every week,” said Isaacks. “This is no small task, and we are one of just a few VA facilities administering all three vaccines approved for use in the United States. We are working hard to #reclaimthesummer.”
