From News Reports
KDHE’s mobile lab will be back in Hutchinson for the next four Wednesdays to administer COVID-19 and Hepatitis A vaccines, along with rapid COVID testing.
The first 30 individuals to receive a vaccine each day will receive a $15 meal coupon for Applebee’s in Hutchinson. No appointment is needed, limit one coupon a month.
The lab will set up at the Salvation Army, 700 N. Walnut Street, Hutchinson, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 14, 21, 28, and Aug. 4. All services are free and confidential.
“We are excited to team up with the Thrive Corporation to offer a meal at Applebee’s,” said Reno County Health Department Director Karla Nichols. “COVID is still a threat in our community, especially with the rise of Delta variant cases in Kansas. Vaccinating is still the best line of defense we have right now.”
