NEWS on COVID-19 in Kansas: Who will get the coronavirus vaccine next? Governor Kelly and KDHE give update
“Kansas Governor Laura Kelly held a news conference Wednesday afternoon to give an update on coronavirus issues in Kansas, including deaths and coronavirus vaccinations.
Kelly began by urging Congress to pass a second economic relief package as soon as possible.
‘Relief funding to support unemployed Kansans, small businesses and vaccine distribution will be paramount to protecting our state’s long-term economic health,’ she said.
Kelly said Pfizer’s first shipment of vaccines had about 24,000 doses. She said they are expecting to get 49,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine next week.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) released a chart showing when the vaccine is expected to be available to various groups in Kansas. Dr. Lee Norman, KDHE secretary, called the chart a first draft.
According to the chart, the first group of people receiving a ‘very limited availability’ of the vaccine includes healthcare personnel, long term care facility staff and residents, and EMS/frontline public health workers. The goal is for them to be vaccinated this winter.”
