Coping with COVID: Kansas launches mapping tool to help residents find vaccine locations, providers

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly has announced the launch of the Find My Vaccine mapping tool, designed to help Kansans locate sites that are administering vaccines in their communities.

Kelly said Kansans in vaccine Phase 1 and 2 are recommended to use this tool as a resource for finding providers who are or will be offering the vaccine.

“The ‘find my vaccine’ mapping tool allows any Kansan, regardless of where they live, to find the closest vaccine provider to their community,” Kelly said. “The national shortage continues to be the biggest obstacle to delivering vaccines, and that means many of our enrolled providers do not yet have sufficient vaccines to offer to the general public.”

The Kansas Find My Vaccine tool allows Kansans to look up nearby COVID-19 vaccine locations, identify which locations have recently received vaccine doses and access contact information for each location to confirm eligibility and availability.

As federal supply increases, Kelly said the Find My Vaccine will evolve to support the COVID-19 vaccination effort by listing more providers and linking to details and scheduling opportunities as they become available.

Vaccines are being delivered to all 105 Kansas counties on a weekly basis, but not all providers may be listed on the map at this time. The mapping tool can be found here.
