Jan. 22 As Kansas moves into a new phase of its coronavirus vaccination effort, Gov. Laura Kelly issued a greatly expanded list of who can get the vaccine and said a hallelujah for Joe Biden for his anti-COVID efforts on his second day as president.
The state is moving into Phase II of vaccine distribution, expanding eligibility for vaccination beyond nursing home residents and health care workers.
The new rules will include vaccination eligibility for all residents 65 and older.
Kelly also announced that workers in these industries can now receive the vaccine, as it becomes available:

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has announced this week the state a move to Phase 2 for COVID-19 vaccination, starting Jan. 21.
“After moving quickly to vaccinate close to 130,000 frontline health care workers and Kansas seniors, my administration has worked with local health departments and providers to prepare to move Kansas into Phase 2,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “While it’s important to remember that the rate of vaccinations will be dependent on the amount we receive from the federal government, we use every tool available to make vaccine delivery transparent, efficient, and fast in order to reach as many Kansans as possible.”
