A Topeka hospital is defending a decision to give COVID-19 vaccinations to members of its hospital board and a fundraising board before people who were at greater risk for infection.
A spokesman for Stormont Vail Health in Topeka said decisions made by the boards govern the daily operations of the hospital. Kansas News Service reports the spokesman said health care workers who directly see patients got the vaccine shots first.
Board members received the shots during Phase 1 of the state rollout of vaccinations, which focused on nursing homes, health care workers and others critical to the pandemic response.

The first doses of a COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Harvey County this week, with the first doses administered Thursday to medical staff at Newton Medical Center.
Health care workers across the state have started receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, which arrived Monday in Kansas. We were told that 24,000 would be sent to hospitals in the state. That is not going to cover a lot of front-line workers, said Lynnette Redington, director of the Harvey County Health Department. But that is the shipment we are expecting. Hopefully soon we will have more.
Those doses are manufactured by Pfizer, which started shipping vaccines this week. On Monday, nurses and doctors in several states began receiving the vaccine.

I can t tell you how thrilled we are to finally be able to offer this our frontline workers, said Leonard Hernandez, president and CEO of the hospital. Our staff and medical staff have been working tirelessly and this will be a boost in our ability to provide care for our community as we combat this disease.
