The majority of Kansans are still waiting as they hope an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccination will become available. As of Monday, every Kansan age 16 and older is eligible to get a vaccine, but the state doesn’t receive enough vaccine to meet the need. It could be worse, according to state leaders. Dr. Lee Norman, Secretary for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said 43-percent of all Kansans are vaccinated. “We’re definitely ahead of schedule, especially when you consider we’ve done teachers and many high-risk populations,” Norman said during a Facebook Live with the University of Kansas Health System Tuesday. This week, Norman said the state of Kansas will receive it’s largest allocation of COVID-19 vaccine to date. The increase will trickle down to metro counties, like the Johnson County Health Department, where they echoed a similar message Monday afternoon.
