Saline County is moving forward with the next step of Phase 2 COVID-19 vaccinations.
According to today's Vax Facts, more than 30 percent of the county's senior citizens have been vaccinated.
"While senior citizens remain the priority, hitting this milestone allows us to begin including additional Phase 2 populations in vaccine scheduling," the information from the Saline County Health Department noted. "Salina Family Healthcare Center has begun scheduling first responders, including law enforcement and firefighters, city and county critical infrastructure workers, K-12 staff and teachers, and childcare providers."
According to the health department, Saline County has been allocated 900 first-round doses for the week of Feb. 15. The distribution of those doses will be as follows.
●450 are allocated to those over the age of 65.
●300 are being designated for K-12 teachers and staff and childcare providers.
●150 are reserved for first responders and city and county critical infrastructure workers.
Evening clinics will be available to accommodate scheduling challenges of K-12 staff and childcare providers, the health department noted.
"If you believe you are eligible to receive your vaccine and have not yet registered please do so immediately. If you have already registered, please do not register twice," the health department urged.
