No COVID Vaccine Available to the Public in County

 

There aren't currently any of the COVID-19 Vaccine available to the public in Montgomery County. According to Emergency Management Director Rick Whitson, the distribution of the vaccine does not channel through one single entity. Labette Health and Coffeyville Regional Medical Center all received theirs directly from the state.

 

To date, the Health Department has only received 50 doses and priority for those was given to EMS in the county with any remaining going to law enforcement. According to the Kansas Department of Health the vaccination will be distributed as it becomes more available. Kansas has only received 157,000 doses as of last week. When the vaccine is available to the public KGGF will have Whitson on to make that announcement.
