The Grayson County Health Department is offering opportunities for adults and children to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
On Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and again from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., at ECTC’s Leitchfield campus, people 18 and older may receive the Moderna, and, according to the health department, possibly the Johnson & Johnson one-shot vaccine.
No appointments will be accepted, as the vaccines will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
On Friday, children between 12 and 17 will be offered the Pfizer vaccine from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the same location. Health officials said the Pfizer vaccine supply is limited and appointments can be made by calling 270-259-3141.
On Tuesday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that 2,058,029 people have received at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in Kentucky.
“These vaccines are miracles. They have effectively eliminated death and hospitalization for the most vulnerable,” Beshear said. “They are saving lives every day and we’ve got to make sure more people get them.”
The governor also announced that due to increased vaccinations, senior centers will reopen at full capacity on June 11.
