Vaccine Update During Board of Health Meeting

 

More and more information keeps coming out about how much of and to who the COVID-19 will go to. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has released her Five Phase Plan for distribution. Labette Health CEO Brian Williams says their goal is to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as they can.

 

Vaccines for long term care facilities are being administered by Walgreens and CVS.  Williams says what they would like to do is start vaccinating their patients but they haven't been given the approval yet.  

 

Williams says for now he encourages everyone to wear a mask, social distance and avoid mass gatherings. He says his nursing staff is overworked due to the high number of COVID-19 patients.
