Governor Andy Beshear says Kentucky broke a new record Tuesday with more than 198,000 people receiving a COVID-19 vaccine during the past week.
Governor Beshear announced Tuesday night 198,447 people have received the COVID-19 vaccine during the last reporting week beginning March 16. The previously weekly record was 165,217 new Kentuckians receiving a vaccine in the week beginning on March 9.
On Tuesday, Gov. Beshear also announced the Kentucky Dam Village Convention Center located at 113 Administration Drive in Gilbertsville as one of several sites across the commonwealth with open COVID-19 vaccination appointments.
Beshear said, “This is a new site we stood up in Western Kentucky to ensure the area was getting significant amounts of vaccine”. Beshear added they have more than 2,000 available appointments this coming week. That means any Kentuckian, aged 50 and up, if you’re in that area, we need you to sign up.
