Christian Fiscal Court heard about vaccination efforts at the jail Tuesday morning and approved an application for additional grant funds to improve Ruff Park.
Jailer Brad Boyd says he’s working with the Christian County Health Department and they will have staff there Wednesday of next week to administer vaccines to approximately 150 inmates who signed up to receive a shot.
He says the Moderna will be used and they will have additional clinics in the future if more inmates decide to take the vaccine. Boyd says approximately a third of the jail staff opted to be vaccinated earlier this year.
