Their turn: Here s when nursing homes in Missouri and Kansas will get COVID vaccine Lisa Gutierrez, The Kansas City Star
Dec. 21 Residents and staff at long-term care facilities in Kansas and Missouri facilities will begin getting the COVID-19 vaccine next week, pharmacy officials announced Monday.
Through a national pharmacy program, nursing homes chose last month to have either CVS or Walgreens come into their buildings and administer the shots.
On Monday, CVS was set to begin the process of administering the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at more than 40,000 long-term care facilities across the country. A second phase, beginning Dec. 28, will bring the vaccine to facilities in Kansas and Missouri, a company spokesman said.
