KANSAS CITY, Ma. The general public in Kansas City, Missouri, will continue to wait to get their COVID-19 vaccine.
Dr. Rex Archer of the Kansas City Department of Health said when they project how many people are still left in Phases 1-A, 1-B and Level 1 and 2, the city will not reach Level 3, which is all Missouri residents do while.
“If they are not in one of these categories, I would be surprised if it is before May or even June before we get to the general public,” said dr. Rex Archer, director of the KCMO department of health, said. “The message people need to hear is that Germany, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, had this outbreak and pandemic under control before being vaccinated. So you can protect yourself if you do all the things we suggest, like masking and even double masking. “
This raises the question of why the vaccinations are delayed.
“There are some challenges in getting it out, and so on. This cold weather has hurt a bit in terms of delivery. We have places that are canceling their clinics this week because they did not get their doses,” said Dr. Archer said. . “We have not yet received our vaccine and may have to cancel from our clinics next week. We are keeping a very close eye on it now.”
