Ellis County gets 500 COVID-19 vaccine doses this week
Another 500 people living or working in Ellis County will get their COVID-19 vaccinations this week.
That s how many doses arrived this week from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, according to Ellis County Health Services director Jason Kennedy. KDHE is distributing vaccine dispatched by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The county vaccination clinic is held weekly at the former Gordmans in the Big Creek Crossing mall. The clinic started for the public in earnest on Jan. 26 with 300 doses from the CDC, funneled through the KDHE. That was followed last week by 400 doses. The shots are administered by appointment on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to those who have signed up and meet Gov. Laura Kelly s Phase 2 criteria.
