The Kansas Health Department released their first set of county rankings since December 17th, showing Sedgwick County’s vaccination has gotten lower.
In the previous set of rankings, Sedgwick County’s vaccination rate was shown at 58%, but it’s down to 53% in the latest update from the KDHE. The positive case rate has spiked in Sedgwick County, and for many other counties. Testing sites have seen a rise in people looking to get tested after holiday gatherings, and more tests have identified more COVID cases. Health officials say the Delta variant is still the dominant strain of COVID across Kansas.
Because of the spike in cases and lower vaccination rate, Sedgwick County is now ranked 43rd by its COVID numbers. Butler County is at 62nd, Kingman at 67th, Harvey at 42nd, Reno at 20th, and Sumner County at 84th.
Despite the spike in COVID cases, KDHE data is not showing a jump in deaths. You can see all the state data, including county rankings by following the links below.
