KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nearly a quarter of all Kansans have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, Gov. Laura Kelly announced Monday.
According to a news release, officials say more than 1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered.
As of 9 a.m. Monday, the state reported 676,015 residents had received at least one dose of the vaccine, with 342,068 completing the vaccination process.

“We administered over one million doses and we'll keep getting vaccines into arms so our kids can get back in the classrooms, Kansans can get back to work, and life can get back to normal” Kelly said in a release. “With the increased vaccine supply coming to Kansas, we are working to make sure every Kansan gets vaccinated.”
The state reports that 1,352,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been distributed to the state.
