Governor Laura Kelly announced on Thursday her administration’s plan to vaccine meatpacking plant workers across the state.
She says that any worker who wants to be vaccinated will be able to receive their first dose within the next 2 weeks.
Counties with meatpacking plants will be receiving additional vaccine doses that will be set aside specifically for meatpacking workers. These will be in addition to the doses that counties receive already from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
The KDHE is coordinating directly with meatpacking plants as well as local health departments.
