Kansas health care workers have begun receiving the first of the state's coronavirus vaccines amid an ongoing surge in cases that has left hospitals stressed. A spokeswoman says 115 physicians and employees of the Via Christi Ascension health care system received shots Monday at its St. Francis hospital in Wichita. The first group of five included a critical care nurse, a housekeeper for a COVID-19 unit and a respiratory therapist. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration of Friday authorized the emergency use of a vaccine made by Pfizer. Gov. Laura Kelly said Kansas has received its full, initial shipment of the first of two doses for 23,750 people.
