Many states are rolling back restrictions and masking guidance now that just over half of American adults are vaccinated against COVID-19. But public health experts say this summer could be a crucial moment for contact tracing the process of identifying those exposed to communicable infectious disease.
A local clinic in south Wichita was able to administer hundreds of COVID-19 vaccines yesterday and today thanks to a partnership with Health Core Clinic.
The Sedgwick County Health Department expects to receive more COVID-19 vaccine this week.
The vaccine supply to Sedgwick County has been unpredictable the past month since the public vaccination clinic opened at Intrust Bank Arena in downtown Wichita.
County Health Director Adrienne Byrne says that’s why the county won’t open the schedule for appointments until a vaccine shipment arrives.
“Right now, we’re still in that place that we don’t know until 12 to 24 hours before we get vaccine, exactly how much we are going to get and when,” Byrne said. “Our intent is not to schedule more appointments than the vaccine we have on hand.”
