Governor: Vaccines in sight; fight harder than ever By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear encouraged Kentuckians to stay strong in the fight against COVID-19, as the commonwealth is just days away from beginning to administer life-saving vaccines. "These vaccines are right around the corner. Within the next 10 days or so we might be giving out the first vaccines," said Gov. Beshear. "That means every loss of life and every extra infection that happens between now and then is entirely avoidable. So let's fight harder than we ever have and do our part as Team Kentucky."
