'A shot of hope': Taking the vaccine today, for a brighter tomorrow and last updated 2021-03-17 19:03:02-04 OWINGSVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) â "A shot of hope" is what COVID-19 vaccines are to many hoping for a return to normalcy. On Wednesday morning, 300 more Kentuckians were able to get their own vaccine at the Bath County Senior Center. "Today is really about individuals receiving a shot of hope," said Victoria Elridge, the commissioner of the Department for Aging and Independent Living. The clinic came to Owingsville thanks to a partnership between Walgreens and the Gateway Area Development District. Elridge says in Kentucky's rural communities, promoting the vaccine relies less on social media and more on traditional formats. That includes simple word-of-mouth.
