The Sedgwick County Health Department has opened its COVID-19 vaccination program to anyone 80 or older and is scheduling appointments for walk-in or drive-through vaccines next week, county officials announced Thursday afternoon. But no county jumping will be allowed. Only Sedgwick County residents can sign up for vaccines from the health department, Assistant County Manager Tim Kaufman said. That’s a major departure from guidance by the state’s top doctor, Kansas Department of Health and Environment Dr. Lee Norman, who said last week that “a resident can go into any county and get vaccinated.”
