Reno County, Kan – September 20, 2022- The Health Department is now offering bivalent booster vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech for ages 12 years and older and Moderna for those aged 18 years and older.

The COVID-19 vaccine is free to any Reno County resident, regardless of citizen status or insurance.
