Any fully vaccinated adult living or working in Kentucky is now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine booster, Gov. Andy Beshear announced Wednesday.
After signaling earlier this week that he would seek to broaden eligibility, the governor on Wednesday signed an executive order to that end. Adults 18 and older who received the second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at least six months ago, or adults who got the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago are now free to sign up for a third dose, the governor’s office said.
