(KAIR)--Local area counties are preparing for the second phase of COVID-19 vaccinations following the Kansas Legislature on Thursday granting approval to a bill that would extend the state’s coronavirus pandemic declaration.
Joining others from the local area in making vaccination plans is Doniphan County, which is encouraging qualifying residents to register for the County’s vaccine list.
According to a news release issued Friday by the Doniphan County Health Department/Home Health, the State of Kansas, so far, is dispensing small amounts of the vaccine weekly to the health department.
The second phase of vaccinations will include all who are 65-years of age, or older, those in congregate settings, high contact critical workers, and those scheduled for vaccination under Phase 1, but have not yet received the vaccine.
According to the release, qualifying Doniphan County residents who want to get vaccinated should email the health department at health@dpcountyks.com or call 785-985-3591. Those who do so will have their name added to the health department’s vaccine list, with those persons to be contacted when the vaccine becomes available.
Residents wanting to vaccinate should visit the County’s website, at dpcountyks.com, to read the Moderna vaccine emergency use authorization. A related consent form should be completed, and brought to future vaccination appointments.
