Gov. Beshear: "Go Get Your Booster, Kentucky'

Press Release

Date: Nov. 1, 2021
Location: Frankfort, KY
Issues: Health and Health Care

Today, Gov. Andy Beshear encouraged eligible vaccinated Kentucky adults to get their COVID-19 vaccine booster shot. The boosters help individuals protect themselves and others better as immunity from the initial vaccine dose(s) likely wanes overtime.

All eligible vaccinated Kentucky adults can now get any of the three COVID-19 vaccine boosters: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.

"You really need to get your booster, because we are seeing hospitalizations among vaccinated people going up month after month, which suggests waning immunity," said Gov. Beshear. "Getting your booster is incredibly important. I am going to get mine live Thursday when we do the Team Kentucky update. The vaccines work. You need a booster for the vaccines to continue to work at the level that we need them to."
