(KAIR)--Atchison and Doniphan Counties are scheduling COVID-19 vaccination appointments for anyone over the age of 18.

That comes as Kansas Monday began Phase 5 of the vaccination process.

In Atchison County, appointments can be arranged two ways, one online and one by phone.

According to Atchison County Emergency Management, online appointments can be scheduled by going to nekshotofhope.org or by calling the local vaccine hotline at 913-308-2415.

Appointments can’t be scheduled through any other method, with an alert message issued Monday saying phone calls should not be placed to the local Health Department, Emergency Management, or the hospital.

In Doniphan County, a vaccination clinic is scheduled for April 8 at the Troy Community Building, located at 1225 Last Chance Road.

According to a release from the Doniphan County Health Department/Home Health appointments are available to anyone who lives or works in Doniphan County, and can be scheduled by calling 785-985-3591.

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly on Friday said Phase 5 was made possible due to the state preparing to receive more vaccine from the federal government.

As of March 26, 35.1% of the Kansas adult population had received at least one dose of the vaccine.
