The Christian County Health Department has administered over 20,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine at its regional site in the Bruce Convention Center and officials are hoping more people will sign up for the shot.
Amanda Sweeney-Brunt appeared Tuesday on WHOP and says not all of those doses went to Christian County residents.
She echoed Christian County Judge-Executive Steve Tribble’s concerns that it appears vaccine data from Kentucky residents on Fort Campbell isn’t being reflected in the state numbers that show Christian County at the bottom of the rankings for vaccination rate.
