Governor Kelly Announces New Phases

 

Kansas expects to finish giving COVID-19 vaccines to long-term care residents and health care workers by the end of this month and has moved people aged 65 and older into the next group to receive the shots.

 

Gov. Laura Kelly on Thursday announced new details about the order in which her state’s residents will be eligible for inoculations and making people aged 65 to 74 years an earlier priority was the biggest shift. Kelly said the phase groups were created using guidance from national and state public health experts and input from the Kansas Coronavirus Vaccine Advisory Council.

 

The state’s previous plan had that age group getting their vaccines after people in congregate living, such as state hospitals, shelters for the homeless, and prisons.
