Governor Announces 157 New Vaccination Sites, 567 Total Sites

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced 157 new vaccination sites, including one new regional site at Baptist Health LaGrange, bringing the state's total number of vaccination locations to 567.

"This means that vaccine locations are getting closer and closer to you. This is the infrastructure we have to build," said Gov. Beshear. "The President told us earlier this week that every American adult who wants a shot can get their shot of hope by the end of May. That means that if we can get everybody interested, we're going to vaccinate another 2.5 million people in the next three months."

New locations also include 10 Kroger sites, 10 Walmart sites and 136 independent pharmacies. To see lists of all sites, organized by program and provider brand, visit < a href=https://govstatus.egov.com/kentucky-vaccine-survey>https://govstatus.egov.com/kentucky-vaccine-survey.
