(KNZA)--High-contact critical workers and persons in special care or congregate environments are eligible for COVID-19 vaccination in Doniphan County.
Those two groups are identified in Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s vaccine schedule.
According to a release from the Doniphan County Health Department/Home Health, those signing up to be on the County’s high-contact critical worker vaccine list must include their age, phone number, and place of employment. That group is defined as those who provide critical services who are at a higher risk of being infected because their job requires consistent and close contact with a large number of individuals.
Special care or congregate environment workers are those living and working in licensed congregate settings, such as home care givers, personal care aides, or caring for a high-risk person.
The release also notes that Doniphan County is starting a list of 16 to 64-year-olds with severe medical risks. Those to be included should call 785-985-3591 or email health@dpcountyks.com
