CRAIG KOHLRUSS
After a bumpy early rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, Sedgwick County says it expects to begin receiving regular shipments beginning next week.
The county will receive 7,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment each week.
County officials hope the regular arrival of vaccines will allow the county to offer them to more residents. Distribution of the vaccine to counties has so far been unpredictable and with short notice, said county commission Chairman Pete Meitzner. We get a call on a Tuesday, Hey, on Thursday you’re going to get so many, and the state’s been the same. They don’t know when they’re gonna get ‘em, how many, he said.
