1:10 I m calling it a vaccination blitz, Fayette Health Commissioner Kraig Humbaugh told the school board Monday.
The campaign will aim to get shots into the arms of 12 to 17-year-olds before the fall. According to the latest data, only 18 percent of that age group has received the injections, compared to two-thirds of adults in Lexington.
Meanwhile, the department suggests keeping mitigation strategies in place for children too young to get the shot. While kids are known to weather COVID better than adults, Humbaugh said they can still serve as a reservoir for the virus. That s why we re recommending that during the summer sessions, children and staff and elementary and middle schools continue to wear face coverings and follow other precautions for this unvaccinated populations, the commissioner said.

Mary Vaughan was terrified when she first got behind the wheel of a school bus. The fear quickly faded, and she knew she had found her calling. Forty-five years since that first turn behind the wheel, Vaughan is still grateful for every day she’s on the job, and she’s not turning in her keys anytime soon.
“I plan to work as long as I can. I love this job. I get up every morning and I put my feet on the floor, and I say, ‘Here we go,’” said Vaughan. “These children are what make me get up every morning. I love ‘em to death. They keep me going, and it just makes me so happy to get up and go.”
