FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) � Gov. Andy Beshear says officials are “working every angle� possible to reverse a slowdown in the COVID-19 vaccination rate in Kentucky.
Beshear said Thursday that more than 550,000 doses of the vaccine are available statewide. He says that means “nobody has to wait anymore� to get vaccinated.
Nearly 1.7 million Kentuckians have received at least their first COVID-19 shot. But the vaccination rate has dropped considerably.
Beshear says about 85,000 Kentuckians were vaccinated in the prior week. That's less than half the number receiving the shots during a peak period in March.
