Kansas City area has hundreds of COVID vaccine appointments. So where are the takers? Lisa Gutierrez, The Kansas City Star
Apr. 19 Update: Truman Medical Centers/University Health officials announced Monday they have 1,500 vaccine doses available. Story here.
Last week was the first time since the Jackson County Health Department began COVID-19 vaccinations that it did not have enough takers for all of its appointments.
Earlier, the University of Kansas Health System found itself with 8,000 open appointments and put out a call to get them filled.
Operation Safe, a collaborative vaccination effort in the Northland, announced last week that it had exhausted its list of eligible Missouri residents wanting a first dose, leaving the site at Cerner headquarters with more than 2,000 appointments to fill.
