DAVIESS CO., Ky. (WFIE) - The Green River District Health Department held a vaccine clinic for inmates at the Daviess County Detention Center. We’re told that 10 percent of the inmates received the Moderna vaccine.
With COVID-19 case numbers down in the county, officials say they’re hoping things continue moving in the direction of getting back to normal.
“There’s new intakes every day coming into the jail, and everybody could be a potential carrier,” said jailer Art Maglinger. “There was just a lot of unknowns so it was challenging just to navigate through the first couple months.”
