Riley County approves health department requests Thursday

Riley County approves health department requests Thursday The Riley County health department is close to vaccinating 30 percent of those eligible with the COVID vaccine. Speaking to the Riley County commission, Local Health Officer Julie Gibbs says the health department has fully vaccinated over 14,000 of the 62,000 residents eligible to receive the vaccine. However, there are 209 locations outside of Riley County where some residents are getting vaccinated, which means that number is likely much higher. “We know that about 40,000 vaccinations have been given. We’re not able to determine how many first or second doses, but those 40,000 vaccines have been given to Riley County residents,” she said.

The agencies say they’re reviewing six reported cases of a rare type of blood clot in people who have received the vaccine. Riley County Health Department Director and Local Health Officer Julie Gibbs tells KMAN that 1,571 doses of the vaccine have been administered to date in Riley County between Lafene Health Center, home bound individuals and mobile clinics. “To the best of our knowledge, no one who received a Johnson & Johnson vaccine from Riley County has had any issues with blood clots or other serious side effects. Now we will continue to monitor the situation and follow the guidance as issued by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the federal government,” she said.
