CHC/SEK moves Pittsburg COVID-19 vaccine clinic

PITTSBURG, Kan. — The Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas closes a vaccination center as demand for the COVID-19 vaccines decreases.

On May 14, 2021, they will close its center at 924 N. Broadway and move all Pittsburg vaccinations to the clinic at 3011 N. Michigan. The CHC/SEK still has Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines available. You can schedule an appointment to get the vaccine, but it’s no longer required.

COVID-19 vaccinations are also now available on a walk-in basis at all regional CHC/SEK clinics, according to Jason Wesco, Executive Vice-President.

“We continue to adapt in ways to help members of the community protect themselves against COVID-19 by allowing all eligible persons the convenience of walking into any of our clinics to receive their immunization without needing to schedule an appointment in advance,” he said.

If preferred, individuals can request a vaccine appointment on the CHC/SEK website chcsek.org. Click the COVID Vaccine Request button. After selecting the “first dose” button, there is an option to select the preferred vaccine. CHC/SEK representatives will contact the recipients to schedule a date for the vaccine.

For those without web access, the health center has a toll-free number, 866-888-8650 and a second number for Spanish-speakers 620-240-8940 to make vaccination appointments.

As with all COVID-19 vaccines, there is no out-of-pocket costs to vaccine recipients.
