This includes select Dillons Pharmacies in Kansas with very limited doses of the Moderna vaccine. Two of those are going to be in Hutchinson at the 5th and Adams Dillons and at the 30th Street Dillons Marketplace.

This new component of the federal vaccination plan from the Biden administration will assist in speeding much-needed vaccine to local communities.

At this time, 22 Dillons Pharmacy locations have been selected to received very limited doses per location each week, beginning on February 11, 2021.

Dillons Pharmacy has been asked to expand their capabilities in scheduling appointments and new locations as supply grows. Additional details to follow as soon as they are available.

Dillons pharmacies expect to have vaccine in hand February 11, 2021 and will begin allowing appointments via the online scheduler at www.dillons.com/covidvaccine. Appointments are mandatory to receive a vaccine.

These vaccines will be administered following the specific phased guidelines active in each county at the time of release as determined by each local health department. If appointments are made by individuals outside the local county guidance, the pharmacy is required to cancel the appointment and turn away individuals who show up and do not meet the criteria.
