Yesterday, December 14, marked the one-year anniversary of the administration of the first authorized COVID-19 vaccinations in Kansas. These vaccines have helped to protect all Kansans – individuals, families and communities – from getting infected, seriously ill or dying from COVID-19. Since this date one year ago, eligibility for COVID-19 vaccines have expanded to anyone ages 5 or older, and they are widely available across the State. As of December 13, 58% of Kansans have now received at least one vaccine dose, which equates to nearly 1.8 million Kansans.
