Data from the state of Kansas shows that about a third of nursing homes have fewer than half of their health care workers vaccinated against the coronavirus.
The data shows that just four of the more than 300 federally-licensed nursing homes in the state are meeting the goal of 90% of health care workers vaccinated against COVID-19.
The state released the data after The Biden Administration announced requirements for nursing home staff to be vaccinated as a condition for those facilities to continue receiving federal Medicare and Medicaid funding.
State data shows that about 46% of Kansans were fully vaccinated as of Wednesday.
