(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Health Department is urging patience as they continue to administer their, so far, limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine.
Health Department Administrator Sheryl Pierce informed the Doniphan County Commission Monday they had administered 260 COVID-19 vaccines to date.
Doniphan County is currently vaccinating its Phase 2 population. This includes people who are 65 and older, high-contact critical workers, people who've been in congregate settings and any previously unvaccinated medical personnel and long-term care residents.
The Health Department, in a press release, said it's a slow process and they are committed to getting a vaccine to everyone that wants one. They added they are doing the best they can with the number of doses they are allocated each week from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Doniphan County residents who are eligible for a vaccine can call 785-985-3591 to get put on a waiting list. You will then be contacted when a dose is available.
