KS Governor Laura Kelly
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Gov. Laura Kelly says Kansas will give COVID-19 vaccinations faster than planned so that all adults with medical conditions can seek shots next week.
Kelly also announced Monday that the state will aim for President Joe Biden’s goal of having inoculations available for all adults May 1.
Kelly said the state will launch both the third and the fourth phase of its planned vaccine distribution next week. That's a week before the expected arrival of 100,000 doses of a single-shot vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson.
The combined phase will cover about 600,000 of the state’s 2.9 million residents, after the first two phases covered twice that number.
