Kentucky Expands COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility to All Residents Age 40 and Up

Kentuckians age 40-years-old and up became eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on Monday.

Thursday night.... the commonwealth - beginning the second phase of vaccinations today... .... this comes after governor beshear expanded phase one-c eligibility - to include those 50 and older.... the category was originally only slated for those 60 and up.... with so many in kentucky able to receive their shot - reserving vaccine appointments has been difficult..... but governor beshear says - availability is starting to open up....
