The Guthrie County Health Department anticipates the rollout for Phase 1B won’t be slowed by the second doses for 1A.

Public Health Director Jotham Arber says the County has already vaccinated 110 of the 315 individuals who received their first dose of the Moderna vaccine.

“Our hope is that throughout the next few weeks, we’ll be able to finish those up. They’ll be in conjunction with the (Phase) 1B rollout. It took us three weeks to vaccinate all of those 1A groups, we anticipate it will take three weeks to vaccinate the second group and we’ll roll that in with all of our 75 and older, 65 and older and all those tiered groups in 1B.”
