Sedgwick County expands Phase 2 plan for COVID-19 vaccine

Sedgwick County is now accepting appointments for Phase 2 of the COVID-19 vaccination plan, for people 83 years of age and older.

The county previously announced that people 90 and older would be the first to get the vaccine under Phase 2, but that age group has been expanded.  The county is focusing on people 83 and older because they have a greater likelihood of serious complications if they test positive for the virus.

The county will also provide the vaccine to health care workers who did not get vaccinated during Phase 1.   People between the ages of 65 and 83 will not be able to make appointments at this time, but the county will announce later when they can sign up, as more vaccine becomes available.

Appointments can be scheduled through the county’s web site at https://www.sedgwickcounty.org/covid-19/vaccine-information/covid-19-vaccine-dose-1/

Caregivers can go with the resident to the appointment, but caregivers will not receive the vaccine at that time.    The vaccine will be administered at INTRUST Bank Arena.  If a resident has mobility difficulties, they can receive the vaccine in their car and be observed without going into the Arena.    Mobile vaccine clinics will be scheduled in the future.
