(KNZA)--COVID-19 vaccines are expected to arrive in Doniphan County December 22-23.
That's what Health Department/Home Health Administrator Sheryl Pierce told the Doniphan County Commission Monday.
Pierce said the first round of the two dose vaccine is to be given to health care workers and emergency medical services personnel. She said the general public can expect to start receiving the vaccine by the spring 2021.
Pierce also said the State of Kansas through CARES Act funding has made available to residents of Doniphan County at-home COVID-19 confirmatory testing kits. The free kits are available through the Doniphan County Health Department. In addition, the Health Department will receive two rapid testing machines to be used for non-confirmatory COVID-19 testing.
As of Monday, there were 42 active cases of COVID-19 in Doniphan County.
