Authorities in Kansas’ Coffey County have moved to contract outdoors nurses to administer the coronavirus vaccine after its Health Department Administrator Lindsay Payer and all 4 of her nurses declined.
Payer informed the county’s Board of Commissioners on January 4 “we will have to contract personnel outside our staff to be able to offer the vaccine” due to the fact that her nurses “aren’t comfy with that,” according to a YouTube video of the meeting.
Payer said it was “discomforting,” before asserting that the department will have to find nurses who are comfy with administering the vaccine.
