Kentuckians will receive vaccine in four phases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear and Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, provided an update on the COVID-19 vaccine and announced that Kentuckians will be inoculated in four phases. The Governor said the state's goal is to administer 90% of all vaccine doses received in the state within seven days of arrival and that the newly announced additional phases provide clarity on when more Kentuckians can get the vaccine. The phases also help providers understand what order vaccines should be administered in, which is crucial if they are having challenges meeting the 90% weekly goal or if they have extra thawed vaccine. The Governor said 60,414 vaccine doses have already been administered in Kentucky; 57,000 doses (27,300 from Pfizer and from 29,700 from Moderna) will be delivered this week. "We've got to get these things out faster. I'm not OK with the pace that they are currently being provided. We have too many people out there who are rightfully anxious, and they need to see this whole country pick up the pace. We are certainly going to do it here in Kentucky," said Gov. Beshear. "Today we're going to talk about some changes we're making, some additional clarification, so if we ever have another case like those two stores that thaw too much vaccine again, they know exactly what population should get it." The planned vaccination phases are:
