Kansas nursing home employees missing vaccine targets

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Data from the state of Kansas shows that about a third of nursing homes have fewer than half of their health care workers vaccinated against the coronavirus. The data shows that just four of the more than 300 federally-licensed nursing homes in the state are meeting the goal of 90% of health care workers vaccinated against COVID-19. The state released the data after President Joe Biden announced that his administration will require nursing home staff to be vaccinated as a condition for those facilities to continue receiving federal Medicare and Medicaid funding. State data shows that about 46% of Kansans were fully vaccinated as of Wednesday.
