KY State Senator pushing for regional vaccination clinic in District 4 By Joseph Payton | February 1, 2021 at 5:59 PM CST - Updated February 2 at 5:22 AM
HENDERSON, KY. (WFIE) - Last week when Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced four new regional vaccination clinics, State Senator Robby Mills was disappointed that District 4 was not represented.
“There are no regional vaccination destinations that were on the governor’s map. There’s some confusion on why that’s happening and why there wasn’t any, particularly in Henderson that folks could get to,” said Mills.
Mills has since been in contact with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, which cites vaccine supply as the problem. The commonwealth administered 83,000 doses in the previous week but only received 69,000.
HENDERSON, Ky. Henderson County recorded 21 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 as reported Tuesday by the Green River District Health Department.
The GRDHD reported 188 new cases in its seven-county district on Tuesday with six of those in Webster County and two in Union County. Daviess County had 124 new cases along with 16 in Ohio County, 13 in McLean County and six in Hancock County.
The COVID-related deaths of two Daviess County residents and one Ohio County resident were also reported Tuesday.
The incidence rate, which measures the average daily cases per 100k population over the past seven days, rose to 54.7 in Henderson County as of Monday, which held it in the red or critical level. Union County and Webster County remained in the critical level at 44.7 and 39.7, respectively.
