More vaccine on the way next week, governor says
The Biden administration has announced a 16 percent increase in the amount of vaccine that states will receive next week, according to Gov. Laura Kelly.
The state’s biggest challenge has been the shortage of vaccine from the federal level, the governor said Wednesday.
Gov. Kelly, in a news conference, said the administration has committed to give states three-week forecasts on the amount of vaccine they will receive.
Since the vaccination process started, the states only heard on a week-by-week basis how much vaccine they would receive, she said. That created a “weekly logistical fire drill,” she said.
