Gov. Kelly Announces Over 2 million Vaccine Doses Have Been Administered Statewide

Governor Kelly announced on Wednesday that the state of Kansas has administered over 2 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, more than doubling the amount of doses administered in roughly 6 weeks.

To date, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the state has administered 2,059,674 doses, with about 43% of Kansans receiving at least their first dose, and almost 33% fully vaccinated.

Dr. Lee Norman, Secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said “This is a great milestone for Kansas, but there is still more work to do…We encourage all Kansans who have yet to be vaccinated to take that initial step to get vaccinated.”

Meanwhile, Governor Kelly warned “Cases of COVID-19 variants are rising across the state. To maintain our recovery efforts, we must ensure that every Kansan is vaccinated.”

Residents are being encouraged to visit www.vaccines.gov to find the location nearest them with an available vaccine.
