Kansas top doctor OKs county-jumping for vaccines; Sedgwick Co. lowers eligibility Chance Swaim, The Wichita Eagle
Jan. 22 As Kansas opened COVID-19 vaccines to anyone 65 or older, Sedgwick County announced it is limiting vaccinations to residents over the age of 83 due to a supply shortage that has forced the county to severely limit who gets an early dose of the vaccine.
Sedgwick County officials expect to receive fewer than 2,000 doses next week from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, which gets a limited supply through the federal public-private partnership Operation Warp Speed. With almost 77,000 people in Sedgwick County age 65 or older, the county is vaccinating the oldest residents first.
