Malinda Hillebrenner volunteers at Douglas County s COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the Douglas County Fairgrounds on Wednesday, March 31, 2021.
As of 9 a.m. on Friday, 55,395 Douglas County residents had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE).
Last week, KDHE told the Journal-World that 56,658 Douglas County residents had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. When asked why the number decreased from last week to this week, KDHE spokesperson Kristi Zears said there was a technical error last week that resulted in some duplicated entries in Douglas County. She said the error has now been accounted for, and specified that KDHE’s data is preliminary.
