More than 31,000 vaccine doses were administered last week in Nebraska. As of Sunday, more than 137,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been given to those in Phase 1 priority groups, according to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
With the exception of Douglas and Lancaster counties, most areas in the state have completed first dose vaccinations for Phase 1A priority groups, with second doses scheduled appropriately to complete vaccination in the coming weeks.
Douglas and Lancaster County are expected to complete most first dose vaccinations this week and be ready to begin Phase 1B next week.
When Sue Lang’s mother tested positive for COVID-19 this week, it made her worried for her mom’s health, but it also made Lang angry at those coordinating vaccine distribution.
Lang’s 96-year-old mother, Ann, lives at A Banyan Residence, an assisted living facility in Venice. She’s bothered that her mother and many other frail seniors in assisted living have yet to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, even as Florida officials began vaccinating the general population of seniors weeks ago.
A Banyan Residence initially was told it would get the vaccine by the end of December, according to the facility’s administrator. But the company contracted by the federal government to do the vaccinations pushed the date back to Jan. 24, the administrator said, and now it’s not clear if the vaccine will even arrive by then. In the meantime, Lang’s mother has contracted the virus.

STATEWIDE, Miss (WTVA) Governor Reeves said in a Facebook press conference that more shots will be coming soon, and workers are working hard to streamline the process of getting the coronavirus vaccines.
People waiting to get their first or their second coronavirus vaccine should soon get their chance, and someone should now answer the coronavirus hotline much sooner. That s just some of the topics the governor and healthcare leaders covered.
