Kansas is working through the details of exactly who will be eligible for coronavirus vaccines in exactly what order as it concentrates on giving shots mostly to health care workers this month.
Gov. Laura Kelly told leaders of the Legislature this week that the vaccines have gone mostly to health care workers. That group also includes employees in state prisons. She said vaccines could go "almost exclusively" to health care workers into mid-January but also suggested some doses already have made it to nursing homes.
Kelly says that prison inmates are to get vaccinated before the general public because they're in "congregate" housing.
