LINCOLN- The state has been working closely with local health departments to create a detailed vaccination network across Nebraska, Governor Ricketts announced at his recent press briefing. There is a very robust vaccination system in the state, the VFC, which will be adopted for used when a COVID-19 vaccine is ready for use. State officials expect the vaccine to be in low supply at the start, so it will be available to health care personnel and high-risk individuals first then will make its way to the general population.

Nebraska Department of Education Commissioner Matt Blomstedt said the Governor's Education Emergency Relief fund will support students affected by the pandemic. Additionally, Governor Ricketts has proclaimed October ‘Physician Assistant Month’, and presented a resolution to The Nebraska Academy of Physician Assistants.
