COVID-19 Vaccine soon available to 600K more Kansans Published 4 years ago on February 26, 2021 By Matt Collins Editor Share Tweet TOPEKA, Kan.— Gov. Laura Kelly announced Monday the state was a week away from advancing to the next phase in the rollout plan for COVID-19 vaccines, and expressed optimism that Kansans soon could resume their pre-pandemic lives. The administration plans to combine the next two scheduled phases of the rollout and broaden the scope of vaccine eligibility to include 600,000 more residents. “It won’t be long,” Kelly said, “before we can get our lives back to normal — back to rituals and traditions like parades and barbecues on Independence Day, back to in-person worship services, back to ballgames, and most importantly, back to spending time with our loved ones, whether they’re near or far.” Related Topics: Up Next Kansas moving to Phases 3 and 4 of vaccine distribution Don't Miss KDHE adds two states to travel quarantine list Advertisement Trending
