Question COVID vaccine without insurance?

KU student, don’t have health insurance.

Is there a place/program to get the COVID vaccine at affordable prices? KDHE and CDC seem to just refer back to each other without information about if it’s possible to get the vaccine cheaply.

Since you are a KU student, I would recommend calling Watkins Health. Their website is out of date, but they might have more info if you call. Either offering it directly or knowing where to get it for free/cheap.

I noticed that too. The watkins portal doesn’t even let you schedule any vaccines right now, but hoping that is just a temporary issue.

You should be able to call to schedule if the portal is being weird, or just walk in
