Key workers to have priority in Phase 2 vaccine distribution in Wyandotte County
The Unified Government Health Department on Friday announced that its priority in Phase 2 vaccine distribution in Wyandotte County will be high-contact critical workers.
Three groups were listed in Phase 2 on Thursday by the governor – those aged 65 and older; those in congregate settings; and high-contact critical workers.
Because there isn’t enough vaccine currently for everyone in these groups, the high-contact critical workers will go first in Phase 2 here, according to Health Department officials. This group includes workers who are in a lot of contact with the public and could be at higher risk for being exposed to and spreading the virus, according to the Health Department.
