Why the older members of the 65-plus age range aren t always first in line for vaccines; plus, a look at other counties COVID-19 vaccine distribution processes | News, Sports, Jobs - Lawrence Journal-World: news, information, headlines and events in Lawrence, Kansas

“How can a 65-year-old be as vulnerable as a 90-year-old?” That’s the question Cheryl Fruetel asked Wednesday morning in a phone interview with the Journal-World. Her parents, who are 89 and 86 years old, had not yet received COVID-19 vaccines in Douglas County. And they’d been waiting for over a month. Fruetel, who lives in Richmond, Va., is 65 years old herself. People ages 65 and older qualify to receive a vaccine as part of Phase 2 of Kansas’ vaccine distribution process. But Fruetel wondered why the older members of that population had not been given priority over the younger ones. “If Unified Command’s mission is to protect citizens, why aren’t they protecting the most vulnerable?” Fruetel asked.

Lawrence school district says 1,000 staff members have received first vaccine; dashboard tool launched to track rollout | News, Sports, Jobs - Lawrence Journal-World: news, information, headlines and events in Lawrence, Kansas

Lawrence Public Schools district offices, 110 McDonald Drive. The Lawrence school district on Thursday reached a significant threshold for staff members receiving vaccines for COVID-19. District spokeswoman Julie Boyle said 1,000 faculty and staff members had received a first dose of the vaccine. The milestone is important as the district works through a four-phase rollout plan to vaccinate educators before students return to fully in-person learning in the next few weeks. The district employs about 1,800 staff members, Boyle said, but has included First Student bus drivers, substitute teachers and student teachers in the plans for a total of about 1,900 eligible staff members. With 1,000 staff members receiving a vaccine, that would mean about 53% of the district’s staff had received it.
