FRANKFORT - All Kentuckians 16 and older will be eligible to receive a vaccine today.

"This is a good day. This news means that we will beat the president's goal by a month to have COVID-19 vaccinations opened up to everyone," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "We are seeing in a number of states an increase in cases and hospitalizations, and it's happening among younger people. We want to get ahead of the more aggressive COVID-19 variants and make sure that we fill every available appointment. Make a plan to get your shot of hope."

Sixteen and 17-year-olds can sign up to get the Pfizer vaccine. People 18 and older can get the Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson and Johnson vaccines.
