Governor, First Lady receive COVID-19 vaccination boosters By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - On Thursday during his weekly Team Kentucky update, Gov. Andy Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear received their COVID-19 vaccination boosters. The Governor said with booster doses for all three COVID-19 vaccines approved, eligible Kentucky adults need to receive one. He said the state is seeing hospitalizations among vaccinated people going up month after month, which suggests waning immunity. "We believe the boosters will give us a level of immunity we probably had early, following vaccination, when our cases and trends were much lower," said Gov. Beshear. "I encourage all eligible Kentucky adults to get a booster." The Governor said if Kentucky adults are over 65, have significant underlying conditions or are exposed to many people through their work, they should get a vaccination booster.

The Governor also said he and the First Lady - like many parents - were thrilled to hear the news Tuesday evening when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officially recommended the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. The Pfizer vaccine has been found to be over 90% effective at preventing COVID-19 in this age group. "This vaccine plays an important role in helping keep our children safe, our schools open and our families healthy," said Gov. Beshear. "The federal government has already begun distributing pediatric vaccine doses to locations across the U.S. Here in Kentucky, we should have the ability to begin administering doses as soon as next week. I encourage you to talk to your pediatrician, school nurse, pharmacist or other trusted medical provider to learn more about why this vaccine is important to protect our kids and overcome this virus." COVID-19 Update During the week ending Oct. 31, the average COVID-19 test positivity rate decreased to 4.98% and the total number of cases reported decreased to 8,603. From March 1 to Nov. 3, 84.1% of COVID-19 cases, 84.2% of COVID-19 hospitalizations and 85% of COVID-19 deaths have been among partially vaccinated or unvaccinated Kentuckians.
