TOPEKA Governor Laura Kelly Monday announced that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine began arriving in Kansas Monday morning. The vaccine has been received in several ultra-cold storage locations across the state, with delivery anticipated to continue through tomorrow. A total of about 24,000 doses is expected.
I want to thank our states dedicated public health workers for their efforts to protect our communities from the threat of COVID-19 often at personal risk to their safety while we waited for a vaccine to become ready and available, Kelly said. While the news of initial vaccine distribution is exciting for our state, I want to remind Kansans that the threat is not over. We must all continue practicing commonsense COVID-19 mitigation efforts to protect our neighbors health and safety, keep businesses open, and get our kids back in school.
