This week, individuals across the state celebrated the delivery of COVID-19 vaccinations to hospitals across the commonwealth. As the vaccine is made available, local healthcare providers such as Dr. John Jones, of the Primary Care Centers of Eastern Kentucky, are encouraging the community to follow guidelines and to prepare to get the vaccine once it is available.
In total, the state expects at least 38,000 Pfizer doses and 109,000 Moderna doses this month. Beshear said he expects more Pfizer allocations to be announced at a later date, possibly before the end of the month. Beshear said he expects Kentucky will receive approximately 38,000 Pfizer doses the week of Dec. 13-19; 76,000 Moderna doses the week of Dec. 20-26; and more than 33,000 Moderna doses from Dec. 27-31. These numbers are the stateâs best estimate at this time based on available information from the federal government, and are subject to change.
