KANSAS CITY, Missouri – The general public in Kansas City, Missouri, will continue to wait to receive their COVID-19 vaccine.
Dr. Rex Archer of the Kansas City Department of Health said that when they project how many people are left in Phase 1-A, 1-B and levels 1 and 2, the city will not reach level 3, who are all residents of the Missouri for now.
“If they are not in any of these categories, before we reach the general public, I would be surprised if it was before May or even June,” said Dr. Rex Archer, Director of the KCMO Department of Health. “The message that people need to hear is that Germany, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea controlled this outbreak and the pandemic before the vaccine. So, you can protect yourself if you do everything we are suggesting, like masking and even double masking. “
This raises the question of why there is a delay in vaccinations.
“There are some challenges to getting it out and so on. This cold snap hurt a little bit about childbirth. We have places that are canceling their clinics this week because they didn’t get their doses,” said Dr. Archer. . “We have not yet received our vaccine and we may have to cancel some of our clinics next week. We are watching this closely now.”
