(KAIR)--Clarification is given regarding Phase 3 and 4 of the Kansas vaccination program, with state residents, aged 16 to 64 with certain underlying health conditions, now eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations.
A release from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly Monday afternoon clarified that “Kansans will not be required to bring medical records or “proof” of their health condition. Instead, they will be asked to abide by the honor system and self-attest that they fall into the two new phases, dubbed the “Roll Up Your Sleeves” campaign, which is also open to non-health care workers in critical infrastructure who cannot work remotely.

Kelly, in the release, announced that the state has now, to date, administered more than one-million doses of the vaccine.

According to statistics from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the state has surpassed 300,000 COVID-19 cases since the beginning of pandemic, with the agency, over the weekend, reporting 615 new confirmed cases, 8 deaths, and 15 virus-related hospitalizations.

The statewide total of confirmed positive cases since the time Kansas began tracking the virus is 300,125.
