HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The vaccination plan for Reno County will be out later this week.
"It takes just a little bit longer to get all of that information organized," said Karen Hammersmith with the Reno County Health Department. "We want all of the parties okay and accepting of the plan."
People are already asking how they can get on the list.
"We want online registrations for that, so that people can get signed up and even pre-register," Hammersmith said. "That takes just a little bit of work as we're working with different electronic medical records and trying to see what we can do to get those registration links that are out there."
This is all without knowing which vaccine the county might get in the next batch or how much.
"We have our own ICS structure here with emergency preparedness," Hammersmith said. "We've also included our partners in this in the community. We've worked so well together and we want to continue that relationship and make sure that everybody's on the same page as we move forward. We've got meetings set up and we'll continue to meet this week and we'll get that plan out as soon as it is finalized."
The county's plan will still follow the state's overall framework and be dependent on how much vaccine the county gets and they don't know that right now.
