Haag Pharmacy will have single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccines available, and it’s changing its schedule from last week when the pharmacy had enough vaccines for clinics Monday through Friday.

Thursday and Friday clinics will be from 9 am to 6 pm at the pharmacy. The Saturday clinic will be from 9 am to 1 pm.
Flint Hills Community Health Center will have a primary dose clinic Thursday at the Fairgrounds Anderson Building. Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be available, but there will only be 200 of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson doses available Thursday because of production issues last month.
