Ellis County Health Department
Ellis County Health Department received its first allocation of COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday. We received a limited quantity that we have started administering to Phase 1a personnel which includes “health care personnel paid and unpaid, who are likely to be exposed to or treat people with COVID-19 or infectious materials and are unable to work from home” according to KDHE.
Following this guidance, the first round of vaccines will be administered to Emergency Medical Service personnel, Health Department personnel and Medical Office Physicians and staff throughout Ellis County. We are working closely with the medical community of Ellis County to prioritize and distribute the vaccine as quickly as possible. Please be patient and follow current best practices as we work with KDHE and CDC to provide vaccination as quickly as possible.
