Doniphan County, Kansas is opening vaccine clinics to phases 3 and 4.

The county has its first Johnson and Johnson clinic Thursday.

Doniphan County Health Department Administrator Sheryl Pierce says there are no more openings for the vaccine at this clinic.

"At this time, we don't know when we'll get more of the one dose, Johnson and Johnson," says Pierce. "The state says maybe around April 1st."

Pierce says they will be administering 200 doses of the Moderna vaccine to all eligible phases on March 23rd.

"We still have probably 70 open slots for that. For anybody that's in phase 1,2,3 or 4 that lives or works in Doniphan County," Pierce tells St. Joseph Post.

Pierce says 20 percent of the eligible population has received the vaccine.

"We've administered 1,160 doses, first doses of the Moderna, and 560 boosters of that, of the Moderna."
