Governor: COVID-19 Vaccine for Children Ages 5 to 11 By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - On Monday, November 8, 2021, Gov. Andy Beshear said now that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has officially recommended the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11, Kentucky parents and caregivers are now able to book an appointment for their children. Gov. Beshear said his 11-year-old daughter received the first dose of the vaccine today. To find an available appointment for this age group, visit vaccines.gov and click on "Find COVID-19 Vaccines." From there, parents and caregivers can sort by zip code and vaccine options. The Pfizer vaccine has been found to be over 90 percent effective at preventing COVID-19 in this age group. "I've waited for this day for a long time. I can't tell you how relieved I am as parent," said Gov. Beshear. "As her dad, I've worried about her possibly getting exposed at home, or at school - other parents know, when you're worried about your child, you worry about everything. So this is special. This is a safe vaccine that will give her and can give your kids extra protection." Gov. Beshear Urges Eligible Kentucky Adults to Get COVID-19 Vaccination Booster Gov. Beshear said as of Monday, 345,887 Kentuckians have received a booster. The Governor said hospitalizations among vaccinated Kentuckians are increasing over time as immunity likely wanes. Boosters help individuals protect themselves and others better as immunity from the initial vaccine dose(s) can decrease. All eligible vaccinated Kentucky adults can now get any of the three COVID-19 vaccination boosters: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. Gov. Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear received their COVID-19 vaccination boosters during last week's Team Kentucky update. Gov. Beshear to Hold Memorial Sunday to Remember 10,000 Kentuckians Lost to COVID-19 During Monday's briefing, Gov. Andy Beshear said he will hold a memorial to remember more than 10,000 Kentuckians lost to COVID-19 on Sunday, November 14, at 1pmET on the State Capitol grounds. The Governor invited all Kentuckians to watch the memorial live on his Facebook and YouTube pages. "Today, we surpassed another grim milestone in our fight against COVID-19 - 10,019 Kentuckians lost," said Gov. Beshear. "My faith teaches me that these are children of God, irreplaceable to their families and their communities. That each time we lose someone - especially this many people - it tears at the fabric of who we are. COVID-19 has been the No. 3 cause of death in Kentucky last year and this year, so far. It's important that we grieve together, and that we recognize those who have been lost and the families who are struggling with that loss." During the memorial, the Governor will officially announce the artist commissioned to create a monument to honor those lost and the sacrifices Kentuckians made during this once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. The Team Kentucky COVID-19 Memorial will be constructed in the Monument Park on the State Capitol grounds; its artist was selected by an advisory panel formed of first responders, health care heroes and family members of those lost.
