(KMZA)--Nemaha County Community Health Services continues working on vaccinating individuals who qualify under phase 2 of the Kansas vaccination plan.

The health department said they are currently prioritizing individuals age 65 and older, first responders, fire personnel and police officers. Once they complete those individuals, they will be moving to high contact criticial workers.

As of Tuesday, the department had administered 641 first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and 210 second doses.

The health department plans to hold COVID-19 vaccination clinics every Wednesday at the Main Event in Sabetha and every Thursday at the Pioneer Building in Seneca.

Their first mass vaccination clinics were held last week, with 80 individuals receiving COVID-19 vaccinations at the clinics.

The vaccination clinics are by appointment and for persons who signed up to receive the COVID-19 vaccine during Phase 2.

Although the COVID-19 vaccine allotment to their agency is still limited, Nemaha County Community Health Services said they remain hopeful to vaccinate more and more individuals each week.
