A COVID-19 vaccine will be distributed to critical health care workers first, then the elderly who are most at risk, before being made available to the general public, City-Cowley County Health Officer Tom Langer said Tuesday regarding the county’s plans for when a vaccine becomes available. Although a firm time frame for availability hasn’t been established yet, Langer said it could be available in the county as soon as next month. The county’s rollout plan for a vaccine will be performed in conjunction with federal and state guidelines, Langer said. Once a vaccine is available, it will be released locally though a tiered plan.
